Baldur's Gate 3 player uses D&D math to explain why Shadowheart's Firebolts always seem to miss

Baldur's Gate 3 Act 2.

I recently started my second proper Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough since defeating the Brain earlier this year.

Shart's wonky aim has been a talking point among the community for a long time, and while I assumed it had something to do with the fact that she's a support-based cleric rather than a dedicated battle mage, I'd never worked out exactly why she seemed so deeply incapable of hitting her mark. Of course, within the annals of the D&D rulebook there's a reason for everything, and one player has pulled out the answer to my specific conundrum.
