Critical Hits
Edit
Critical Hits are an aspect of the combat system which represent a particularly successful attempt at an action.
All weapons and most spells have a Critical Hit variation of their normal effect. This usually means doing higher damage. However, a wide variety of critical hits effects exist, so check the spell to be sure what it does.
Critical Failures
Edit
Critical Failures are an aspect of the combat system which represent a particularly unsuccessful attempt at an action.
Unlike Critical Hits, a Critical Failure simply causes the action to fail, however, the cost (in AP/MP/WP) is still spent.
Base Values
Edit
- The base Critical Hits value for all classes is 3.
- The base Critical Failures value for all classes is 0. Without increasing this, no Critical Failures will occur for a character.
Hit vs Failure
Edit
If you manage a Critical Hit and a Critical Failure in the same action, then the Critical Failure takes priority and cancels out the Critical Hit. The cost will be spent, but nothing will happen.
