Certain scenarios result in guaranteed or near-guaranteed successful hit rolls against a target: | |||
* If the target is [[Stuck]] or [[Overburdened]], the target's DV is automatically reduced to <code>-10</code>, which can effectively guarantee success with all attack hit rolls against them. | |||
* Targets affected by the attacker's [[Hook and Drag]] are automatically hit by the attacker when the attacker moves. | |||
* If the attacker has latched on to the target (an effect unique to {{favilink | madpole |plural}} and {{favilink | leather whip | plural}}), the attacker is guaranteed to hit the target. | |||
