So I was thinking... Since there is no Statistic to determine how accurate one would be with your weapon...here's some thoughts:
Generally, people would be accurate with their weapon to hit a still object a good distance away, but what about in conditions like combat or low lighting?
I say, to determine accuracy in these conditions that we use Wisdom as the score to do so.... It's used to read and observe enemy movements, it's only fitting then that accuracy would be this skill...
So in essence, when fighting against someone with a weapon while fighting their speed... It can be summed up as:
Wisdom vs Dexterity....
Thoughts?

I say a mix of both.
You can't hit anything if you're slow, but even if you're fast as hell, you need basic pattern recognition skills, among other things.

It only makes sense, really.
Like you said, wisdom allows one to predict enemy movements, usually in terms of dodging attacks, it only makes sense that the same principle is used in leading bullets.
But let's not forget that no one on earth (Myself included) wants to make a character that isn't the fastest being on earth, since, well, apparently being a strong guy just isn't cool anymore. Thus, almost everyone's Dex scores are jacked up like crazy. If it's a problem, maybe add one extra 'modifier' type point to your Wisdom for every 5 or 10 points of intelligence? After all, being of high intelligence means you'll know your weapon very well, able to accurately guess just how fast it will fire and what-not.
Like you said, just a thought, and it might end up too complicated anyway.

Eh, lets not base it off of stats. Stats are guidelines. We can use them to get a general idea. Still, like always, we'll base it off how well it was presented in its post (without the god-modding) + minor stat tweaks.

Well, I think you should be able to possibly back up movements with your stats but don't base them off it. A creator should be able to use his/her character to his/her best ability without being restricted by "stats". I mean, have you ever given 110%? It depends on what the character has done that day, is he/she distracted by something? It's all relevent and as writers, we should be able to do that ourselves. They don't give you stats in books. Well, most books.

That is true...
But this is simply a thought.. If Strength is the guideline for how srong you are, isn't in then reason to try and find a stat to which governs how accurate you would be?

It's fine with me as long as we're not depending on stats any more that we used to.

I thought those were just a sort of summary...Well accuracy differs...Well most of the time. real masters accuracy actually doensn't differ but that's different.

There are some characters who were trained for high accuracy because they devote years of their history to master such feats such as Lexandra and Darian, Archer Mage and Gun Mage respectively. These characters depend on high accuracy and have thus devoted years to mastering accuracy feats. I disagree with accuracy being stat-related.
