It's part of DnD (that other game is the same thing) and I'm sure that is why in some ways Larian has deviated some from core rules. Forget this game, this is a common complaint to any TB game that doesn't address misses and RNG and with a D20 you have a lot of RNG. So one has to decide, but I know there will be people that aren't DnD or bust and they will be disappointed in a lot of misses. Larian should simply have different difficulties and this could be one of the differences. To me have a True DnD experience setting and then one's that address the OP's point. This is always going to be a divide otherwise.
