> Every new char I make, seems to suck. Lets say, I roll a human warrior, with a 90 total. Lets say I wield a practice sword. So I go along, killing things in the acadamy. And I miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, graze, miss, miss, hit. then I watch a drow mage come and graze, hit.

> I can roll like 20 chars, with same stats, and same eq. attack 20 mobs, and some of them will actually HIT the mobs, while the others just miss and miss and miss. Why is it doing this? And at rank 1, I kill beasts in 2 rounds. rank 2, I kill beasts in 2 rounds. rank 3, it takes 8 rounds EVERY time! Are there some serious hidden stats at work here or something? Do the imms hate me? Am I just unlucky? Will things improve? I'm getting sick and tired of spending an hour at least rolling a char, and then missing all my attacks with a warrior or warrior type at rank 3-5 while mages run around kicking ass with their weapons.

I don't know how much you've played so if this ain't it, then sue me.
1. Drow learn fast. Elves learn fast. I've improved parry 3% from 75% just killing one academy monster heading for the north door. If the elf or drow has been their 10 minutes he's already got 2 or 3% on you. IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. One practice for a drow is 75%. Won't do him much good at rank 20, when you are both perfected.
2. Elves are faster.
3. I've played a character who had parry stuck at 99% for 10 ranks. I tanked the whole time as well. (I've also perfected parry by rank 7 with an elf ranger).
4. Give it time, it balances out. Throwing away a character with decent stats at rank 3 because he's missing is slightly impatient eh? Case in point. Rank 5 wood-elf warrior. Fought an orc in the goblin village. Killed him in 5 rounds and and had 3 second attacks succeed in a row and didn't even bleed. Second attack practiced to 71%. Hit the second one and missed 10 times in a row and was forced to flee. Sound familiar? When you get them perfected, the variability is pretty much up to who's faster, hitting harder, and best protected. Until then, the day of the week probably makes a difference.
ps and maybe at rank 3, their telling you to get the hell out of the academy :P
