>where do you get the "always hit on 1" part?
ack, should be always miss on a 1, hit on a 20
from the statement in hit()
if ((((diceroll < 20) && AWAKE(victim)) &&
       ((diceroll == 1) || ((calc_thaco - diceroll) > victim_ac)))) {

(diceroll < 20)  = auto hit
(diceroll == 1) = auto miss
no matter how bad your thac0 is and how good your opps ac is,
you always hit on a 20, meaning 5% chance is the worst you can have.
likewise, even with high thaco and low ac, you always miss on a 1, so you
can't have better than 95%
