Critical Hit

Critical Hit is a buff effect. When it is active, your next attack against a target has a chance to critically hit:

• Using an attack has a 10% chance to critically hit, rolling again for additional damage. This second hit is post-attack resolution.
• Using any other maneuver increases the open roll potential to 10%, and removes the negative roll chance.
  • Any maneuver used this way costs 25% less stamina.

The Critical Hit effect is consumed after maneuver activation.
