"chance to" = opportunity; "chance of" = probability
I've started checking pages systematically for misuse of "chance to", and correcting them.
I realize the expression "chance to hit" is a regular part of D&D jargon, but nothing is lost by changing it to standard English ("chance of hitting" works just fine even on the page To-hit) along with the rest of the occurrences, most of which look like the product of simple (understandable) ignorance on the part of non-native English speakers, many of whom show a preference for infinitives over gerunds. —Netzhack (talk) 14:11, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
