New page

A '''critical''' (or '''crit''') is a term that refers to the extra damage done to a [[creature]] or [[character]] in an attack. For example, a hit that does 18 raw damage to a creature wearing soft leather armor will suffer a level 3 critical, on average. The critical determines the message (see [[critical table]]) that is seen after an attack, the stun, the wound, how badly the creature bleeds, and the extra damage done by the critical hit.

==Determining Critical Rank==
Critical hits are determined by the [[raw damage]] (not blood loss) and the [[critical divisor]] of the [[armor]] the defender is wearing. The raw damage is determined by the [[damage factor]] of the [[weapon]] used against the armor the defender wears and the [[end roll]] of the attack. The general formula for critical rank is:
*'''Critical Rank =''' ''Truncate[ ( (Endroll - 100) * Weapon Damage Factor - Armor Padding Points + Weapon Weighting Points ) / Armor Critical Divisor ]''

==Fatal Critical Rank==

The following table lists the minimum [[critical]] ranks that cause instant death for the victim. Limb injuries are not shown as they are not immediately fatal.
