RNG is RNG. Unless it says 100%, don't expect not to fail.

Rolling a 1 is ALWAYS a miss (hence it's called critical miss), even if your total hit modifier is 9 and their AC is only 7, therefore 100% doesn't exist, 1/20 = 5%. And therefore on a normal roll the maximum is 95% assuming your "base hit" > "their AC". This also means that critical hit (20) is also always at least 5% chance no matter what, unless you got a disadvantage roll, then it's 2.5% (2 dice, taking the worst result).
98% I assume has to be a "your base hit" > "their AC" + "advantage roll", because then you will roll 2 dice and take the best result, which is technically 97,5%, but I suppose they rounded it off and having a miss with that means you rolled 2 x 1, really bad luck. Lol


How do you miss with a 100% hit chance? Not CRITICAL miss just a miss? My rogue did so obviously the numbers we are shown are not to be trusted. And that 98% hit chance and a miss is nice and all and I could buy it IF it was really bad luck because honestly the amount of misses i get with 98 hit chance is un fucking real! This is a 1 in 50 hits that is supposed to be a miss well it is not ... not even by a long shot.
