#47673, "Aim, precise aim and opportunity strike"


  

          

Do these skills do anything beyond increasing your chance of beating armor deflection and being required for some edges?

No extra damage? No extra chance of turning a miss into a proper hit, i.e. extra hitroll? No extra chance of getting past defenses?

Overall, I believe aim and such do exactly as you describe, but since shield block takes into account your armor use, I believe the aim subset can help get around shield block, but that's it. Of course, I could be wrong, but that's my best knowledge.
