I just keep missing!

Now, i've noticed over the past few days, that more than one of my characters has consistantly missed every attack he has dealt....
( one is chasing a theif, who has lots of iron stuff so can protect himself, and the other is just being moody )
i've missed about six times in three days over these two characters...
Is this just really really bad luck? (one of these characters is an expert at fighting)
Or is there something fishy?

Bad luck
Chance of missing is a constant - Expertise and ability don't come in to it

Fair enough, are you sure its just bad luck?

No - its actual a pseudo random number generating routine using current time in milliseconds as a seed.

And so i just got the wrong number (from my perspective) three times in a row for two characters? Alrighty.

A bit like my crushing defeats in Risk last night. I had no idea I could roll so many ones and twos. Yet, at other times I was unstoppable.
I managed to roll a couple triple sixes, the chances of that is 1 in 216 ( 1 sixth cubed)

So there's no skill that determines if you'll hit or not? Because I have a couple of chars that seem to miss way more then the others.

No , it's pure chance - as it is for shield ineffectiveness. The skill effects the amount of damage if the hit is successful
