Okay, here are the important stats:
intel: 20
mental: 25
coord: 39
perc: 30 (33)
spellcasting: 26
marksmanship: 39
How did I hit someone (probably well over my skill level) with lightning bolt but NOT with my remarkable quality sidearms?
Granted, I'm surprised I hit him with my lightning bolt, but now I'm just confused. |

What about the applicable skills (spellcasting and firearms)? What is your profession?

I noted those too...
spellcasting: 26
marksmanship 39
And I'm an artisan. That's why I'm unsure why the magic worked but the weapon didn't.
Granted, I didn't expect either to work. But I'm notably better at marksmanship, both with skill and stats used when checking it out.

Doh. Missed that. Hmm, good question. Off hand I'd say there's something off in calculations, I'll have to look into it. Unfortunately, magic and weapon combat use different systems for determining hit or miss, and if one is updated the other might not be due to oversight.

Just so I don't not include anything important, I didn't exactly aim before I shot.
I don't know if aiming allows me to FULLY use the skill I have, or if it gives some extra phantom chance to hit points.

Oh duh, yeah that would explain it. If you don't aim, you use a lot less of your skill. Partially aiming uses less of it too, based on how long you *did* aim.

Okay, nevermind. I'm a dork.
