Electrical critical table
The damage values listed in this table are bolt AS based. CS based attacks that produce lightning criticals will frequently have damage that differs from this table. 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 spells Minor Shock (901) and Major Shock (910).
Legend:
- A - Amputation (limb loss)
- F - Fatal (instant death critical)
- K - Knockdown
- R - Injury level (rank 1, 2 or 3)
- S - Stun w/number of rounds
- x - Unknown stun round
