Okay so let's see.

Pirate Bowman Level 6, 14.1 meters away
Scarlet, Level 7, Dex 10, Perception 7 - 68% chance to hit
Scarlet, Level 7, Dex 10, Perception 12 - 84% chance to hit
Scarlet, Level 7, Dex 15, Perception 7 - 76% chance to hit
Scarlet, Level 7, Dex 15, Perception 12 - 92% chance to hit

So above the biggest adjust came from Perception, those 5 points made me 18% more likely to hit. Where Dex only made me 8% more likely to hit.

Pontius Pirate, Level 6, 2.5 meters away
Scarlet, Level 7, Dex 10, Perception 7 - 87% chance to hit
Scarlet, Level 7, Dex 10, Perception 12 - 87% chance to hit
Scarlet, Level 7, Dex 15, Perception 7 - 100% chance to hit
Scarlet, Level 7, Dex 15, Perception 12 - 100% chance to hit

As he's so close to me my guess is that perception / accuracy doesn't play a role, Dex does possibly so you outmaneuver his dodges. I guess I should add some further tests with reducing Dex and Perception.

I have screen shots available if you want them.
