Off the top of my head, I think it would affect Flush but not Arc Thrower.

I have never missed above 80% shot of arc thrower still at graze band 20% setting.

Could be random. An 80% shot with a 20% graze band should be 70% hit, 20% graze iirc

80% in 20% graze band setting is 60% hit and 40% graze

Reminds me that i have seen some strange 1 damage on alien transmitters which means they can also probably be "grazed" despite being immobile auto-hit structures. :?

I, too, was wondering about this. Does this mean that relays have a 10% to be grazed?

That's what i expect. Probably those structures are fixed to 100% to hit chance, but then grazing band turns the lower 10% (or whatever value you specify) into a graze. I guess grenades and other auto-hits abilities can also graze. I've never seen a combat protocol graze but i think i had a grenade graze early in the campaign before i knew what the graze band was.

Whether this is a design choice or an oversight, i can't tell. It would be good to know for sure which abilities can graze and which ones can't.
