I wouldn't know the formula, but for the curious, the Firbolg (summonable by a nature spell; 'Awaken Sleeper' if memory serves) has a built-in laser-targeting system and ballistics trajectory computer (prec 15).
A Firbolg with, say, Vision's Foe, a lightning bow, or Botulf could be pretty nasty.

I use them alot that way. Also give them that crystal eye that boosts their aim even more. That lightning bow does major damage (based on strength, fired by a giant?) and giving him +str items makes that even more.

Plus he can get up to where he can use a bow at short range. He can carry alot of armor. That crossbow that does 999 damage is a good thing to keep in mind if you come up against something like a monolith

With the larger battlefield and higher effect of more precision I find myself mass producing eyes of aiming for my mages so they get good hit chances. It's especially necessary if you want your abysian mages to hit more than 10% of the time, but still really good for any mage. Going from 10 to 15 prec has major noticable effects.

If they were removable glasses of aiming with +3 precision, I might. But I don't like to injure my precious mages under any circumstance, so I never use eyes or hearts.
