Question [2]
Chance to hit
Is this only based on level? Is there any way to improve it? I made an alt Shadow Knight whom I'm enjoying quite a lot. However I can't dare battle anything which is yellow, because the vast majority of my attacks miss.
It’s been said before but it’s important to state again, level is the most important statistic in Everquest. It has significant modifiers on hit chance (both offensive and defensive) and spell effectiveness. Of course other statistics affect this as well but a couple levels difference is huge for your ability to handle an area or get squashed.
This is however a mechanic that makes leveling in eq few really significant and you will certain feel more powerful as you gain ground (and completely insignificant when you move to a new higher level area).
