 '''To hit''' (short for 'chance to hit') is the probability that an attack will hit a target. It is one of the two key factors in determining the success of an attack, the other being damage.
 The to hit can be calculated for melee and ranged attacks, and is calculated differently for players and monsters.  The largest factors for players are weapon (or unarmed) skill and fighting skill - with good training on both skills and decent dexterity, it should be rare to miss most targets.
