Hit chance is a skill. Hit chance increases the chance to make a successful hit.
In PvE combat, one's hit chance is the chance of successfully hitting a monster (or the chance of a monster hitting you), given your accuracy, the armour of your opponent and the style you are using.
When discussing changes to hit chance, modifiers are either additive (directly affecting hit chance) or multiplicative (affecting one of its variables). Additive bonuses are added directly the final calculation, whereas multiplicative bonuses modify a variable in the calculation. In this sense, accuracy is distinct from hit chance; the latter being a function of the former.
