Accuracy and Missile Weapons

Simple question.

Does accuracy affect how often missile weapons (and throwing, for that matter) hit, or only melee weapons?
And it is completely irrelevant for spells... right?

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Accuracy effects all weapons.

Thanks for the answer. However, not meaning to sound rude, but is the post above mine indeed correct?

With my all ranged party (Thrower, Missiles, Firearms, Magic) i have a pretty good comparision. The best hit rate by far with an Accuracy of 80 (from Dex alone!) has my missile using rogue; it's pretty rare that i pickup a "miss"ed arrow away from a critters death site. The "miss" rates of my Thrower (Accurary 26) and Firearm user (Accuracy 32) are a lot higher.

Same goes for melee, if my front row Thrower and Missile users have to go that way. The Thrower has a hard time to make hits connect with his Accuracy 26 so i usuall don't even try. My rogue on the other hand has a Dagger that even adds more Accuracy so he's up to 95 in melee and pretty much each of his attacks hit.

Ah, I see. Thank you! =)

I've actually seen several throws of mine miss, so accuracy definitely plays a part in that. I have no missile weapons users, though, so I'll take your word for it. :P
