Cold critical table

Cold critical table. - Element: Water

This table lists the damage, messaging, status effects, and injury levels caused by the cold damage type aka ice criticals.

The damage values (hit points) associated with each message within this table are bolt AS based. CS based attacks that produce cold criticals will frequently have damage that differs from those listed here. However, the status effects and injury ranks will be consistent with the messaging for each crit rank regardless of the attack type and damage.

This is the critical table for the wizard spell Major Cold (907).

Note: There are several equal damage values for differenct critical ranks on the same body part. I.e., the right hand critical ranks 5, 6 and 7 are all 10 damage. Those values are correct.
