 '''Spell attacks''' are attack rolls made as part of casting a [[Spells|spell]].
-== Attack rolls ==
-When making an attack, a creature [[dice rolls|rolls]] a d20 and add the relevant [[ability score modifier]] to the results. If the attacker has [[Proficiency|proficiency]] with the weapon they make the attack with, or if the attack is made as part of a spell, they add their proficiency bonus to the result as well.{{note|Like all rolls made using a d20 die, attack rolls are affected by {{Advantage}}/{{Disadvantage}}.}}
 <div style="text-align: center;">'''Result = {{InfoBlob|{{D20}} + Ability score modifier + Proficiency bonus}}'''</div>
-The result of the attack roll is then compared against the target's [[Armour Class]] (AC). If the result was equal to or greater then the target AC, the attack is a ''hit'', and roll for [[Damage rolls|damage]]. If the result was less than the target AC, the attack was a ''miss''.

-Rolling a 1 is considered a ''critical miss'', and is always considered a miss, regardless of the final results of the roll.
-Likewise, rolling a ''20'' is considered a ''critical hit'' – an automatic hit that deals additional damage.
