Accuracy is part of the combat game mechanics in Pillars of Eternity and Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. It is counted against the target's appropriate defenses and determines the likeliness of Hits and Crits or Grazes and Misses, thus influencing the success of an attack. For details about the underlying calculations, see Attack Resolution.
A character's actual accuracy depends on a number of factors: primarily on their class and level, but also their Perception, Abilities and Talents, the weapon and other equipment, the situation, and more.
Description[]
Accuracy is part of almost every attack. It influences how likely the attack is to affect the target. Accuracy is defined primarily by a character's class and level but it is also influenced by Perception, Talents, and other active effects, such as spells or items. When an attack is made, the Accuracy is compared to the appropriate defense on a target to determine how the attack roll will be modified. If Accuracy is above the target's defense, it will be more likely to result in a Hit or Crit, less likely to result in a Graze or Miss.
Any Ability or Talent that does not use a weapon as part of the attack gains a small Accuracy bonus based on the level of the character.
Modifiers[]
Class and level[]
A character's base accuracy is determined by their class and level. For every level above level 1, the character gains +3 accuracy.
| Game | Class | Base | Accuracy at level | |||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | |||

Perception[]
Each point in Perception above 10 increases a characters accuracy by 1, each point below 10 decreases it by 1.
Shields[]
Equipping a shield gives a penalty to accuracy with all normal attacks, with or without other weapons equipped.
| Shield type | Modifier |
|---|---|
| Small shield | 0 |
| Medium shield | -4 |
| Large shield | -8 |
Attacks with weapons[]
Disengagement attacks[]
All attacks made as a result of an enemy disengaging get a +20 bonus to their accuracy. While on storytime difficulty, enemies get a -25 accuracy penalty on their disengagement attacks made against the party.
Weapon type[]
When attacking with weapons, a character's accuracy gets modified by an inherent bonus or malus, depending on the weapon type.
| In Pillars of Eternity | |
|---|---|
| Weapon type | Modifier |
| Club, Dagger, Rapier, Spear | +5 |
| Arbalest, Crossbow, Hunting bow, War bow, Battle axe, Flail, Hatchet, Mace, Sabre, Stiletto, Sword, Torch, War hammer, Estoc, Great sword, Morning star, Pike, Pollaxe, Quarterstaff, Rod, Scepter, Wand | ±0 |
| Arquebus, Pistol | -5 |
| Blunderbuss | -10 |
| In Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire | |
|---|---|
| Weapon type | Modifier |
| Club, Dagger, Hunting bow, Rapier, Spear | +5 |
| All other types | 0 |
| Arquebus | -5 |
| Blunderbuss | -10 |
Fighting style[]
The fighting style, i.e. which and how many weapons are equipped, can further modify the accuracy of attacks made with that weapon.
| Fighting style | Modifier |
|---|---|
| Wielding a single one-handed weapon without shield | +12 |
| Wielding a two-handed weapon | ±0 |
| Dual-wielding two one-handed weapons | ±0 |
| Wielding a one-handed weapon with shield | 0 to -8 (depending on the type of shield) |
Attacks without weapons[]
When attacking without the use of a weapon or fists, modifiers to accuracy from equipped ones (e.g. Fine enchanted or with Accuracy 1) do not apply. Penalties, however, from equipped shields do affect the accuracy.
Wizard spells[]
In Pillars of Eternity, each wizard spell has an inherent accuracy bonus, which is added to the wizard's accuracy; the exact bonus is shown in the spell's description.
Abilities[]
An ability level-dependent bonus is added to a character's accuracy when attacking with an ability or spell without the use of a weapon.
In Pillars of Eternity a first level wizard, for example, would get +1 accuracy to all of their spells, while a wizard of 11th level would get +11 accuracy to all spells.
In Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, all abilities get a base +2 accuracy per ability level, minus 1. For example, a seventh level ability gains +12 accuracy. Following this, abilities get ±1 for every power level difference between the ability's native power level and the power level it is cast at. This can differ on a per-ability basis, though isn't done very often.
Buffs in Pillars of Eternity[]
In addition to a character's base accuracy, along with the modifiers from weapons, spells and abilities used for the attack itself, there are various ways to gain further bonuses for all or certain character's attacks. Some of these buffs are permanent or can be activated for as long as desired, while others must be enabled and then expire after their duration runs out. Some can only applied to the character themselves, while others apply to allies. Some buffs stack, others are mutually exclusive.
A character's accuracy score for a certain attack can benefit from the given number of bonuses from each of the following tables at the same time.

Debuffs[]
The accuracy of characters can be temporarily lowered by their opponents using a variety of spells, Abilities or other actions. Some of those affect accuracy directly (like the 1st level Wizard spell Kalakoth's Sunless Grasp), while the most of them cause an affliction, which in turn – among other things – decreases the accuracy of the victim.
