'''Critical Weighting''' is a property of weapons that adds "phantom" damage to an attack for the purpose of determining the severity of the critical damage of an attack. |
|||
== Example == |
|||
The amount of phantom damage added is half the weighting value of the weapon. For example, a heavily crit weighted weapon (which has a numerical value of 9 to 11, but for these purposes we'll say 10) does five extra phantom damage to an attack. For example, a character attacks and hits a creature wearing soft leather armor for 15 damage. Since the crit divisor of soft leather armor is 6, it would normally be a level 2 maximum critical rank. With a heavily crit weighted weapon, it would be a level 4 maximum critical rank, but the attack still does 15 raw damage. Critical hits also add a certain amount of damage, so the damage will appear to be actually greater if the critical rank increases due to the critical weighting. |
|||
Critical weighting cannot increase the rank of a hit that would have been a critical rank 0 otherwise. Characters have natural crit weighting derived from DEX bonus. GILCHRISTR's research indicates that 1 potential phantom damage is added for each 4 bonus. |
|||
(Note: There is some variation on critical hits. See [[critical randomization]].) |
