Hit Roll
After many hours of battles and experience, you will eventually gain the ability to see your hitroll and damroll. Your hitroll is the bonus given above and beyond the random number generated by the Mud. This involves your chances of hitting your enemy. Without a high hitroll, you are doomed to miss often. Many pieces of magical equipment around provide you with special hitroll bonuses; identify everything!
In Game Use
-- (as far as I've been able to tell, please correct this if you can). --
HR is the only important stat for archers, your damage in determined without use of DR and relies on other factors.
HR is much much less important for br00ts, as it seems that the HR makes little difference on the number of hits a warrior achieves, while DR is much more important.
