I got a critical miss on 98% chance to hit, but that still does mean that theres a 2% chance to miss and that's what happened.
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
You can get 100% vs prone or unsuspecting enemies.
