When attacking a monster, you must make a successful to-hit roll in order to actually strike it. To do this, your to-hit bonus must exceed the roll of 1d20.[1]
Contents
Melee
These are some of the factors that might affect your chance to hit in melee:
Weapon and equipment
- A bonus (or penalty) equal to the weapon's enchantment, if using a weapon.[2]
- The natural to-hit bonus of the object used to strike.[3]
- The artifact's to-hit bonus, if using an artifact weapon against an appropriate target.[4]
- A bonus equal to the enchantment level(s) of any rings of increase accuracy you are wearing.[5]
- -20 if you are a Monk wearing body armor.
- If you are a Monk not wearing body armor or a shield, and not wielding any item, +(experience level / 3)+2.[6]
Your characteristics and status
- +1 for all melee attacks.[7]
- Bonuses based on your strength and dexterity.[8]
- A bonus equal to your Luck.[9]
- A bonus equal to your experience level, if you are in your natural form.
- A bonus equal to your monster type's "level" if you are polymorphed.[10]
- +1 if you are at experience level 1 or 2.[11]
- A bonus or penalty from -4 to +3, depending on your skill with the wielded weapon, if you are not two-weaponing.[12]
- A penalty from -9 to -3, depending on your two weapon combat skill (or your weapon skill, if it is lower), if you are two-weaponing.[13]
- A penalty if riding a steed: -2 if restricted or unskilled in riding, -1 if basic, and no penalty if skilled or better.[14]
- An additional -2 if you engage in two weapon combat while riding a steed.[15]
- -1 if you are burdened, -3 if you are stressed, or -5 if you are strained; if you are overtaxed or overloaded you will be unable to attack at all.[16]
- -3 if you are currently trapped.[17]
- If you are engulfed, you always hit.[18]
Monster characteristics and status
- The target monster's AC.[19]
- +2 (cumulative) against a stunned, fleeing, or sleeping monster.[20]
- +4 against a paralysed monster.[21]
Monster-specific
- +2 for using a blessed weapon against a demon or undead.[22]
- +2 for using any spear against a "kebabable" monster: xorns, nagas, dragons, jabberwocks, and giants.[23]
- +4 for using a trident against any swimmer that is in water.[24]
- +2 for using a trident against any S or ; that is not in water.
- +2 for using a pick-axe or mattock against a xorn or earth elemental.[25]
- +1 if you are an elf (either naturally or by polymorph) hitting any orc.[26]
Ranged
These are some of the factors that might affect your chance to hit when throwing or kicking items, or when applying a polearm:
- -1 for all ranged attacks.[27]
- A bonus based on your dexterity.
- A bonus equal to your Luck.[28]
- A bonus equal to your experience level, if you are in your natural form.
- A bonus equal to your monster type's "level" if you are polymorphed.[29]
- A bonus based on how far away the target is. A target adjacent to you gives a +2 bonus; this decreases by 1 for each move's worth of distance, to a maximum penalty of -4.
- -2 if you are wielding any bow while wearing gauntlets of power.
- -3 if you are wielding any bow while wearing gauntlets of fumbling.
