Stray

A ranged attack (projectile) failing to hit its target generates an in-game message, close to the target enemy, displaying the word "Stray", in yellow. A common reason for this event to take place is movement of the target while the projectile is fired, thus preventing being hit by this attack. The description of the Blind condition's discription states that it increases the chances of projectiles straying, however the exact mechanics are not currently understood.

Stray can be caused by firing a projectile at a target that is standing in a visually obstructing object, such as, a large plant. In this case, the word stray likely refers to the projectile straying from its intended path due to an obstacle.
