Something I was wondering and was never really addressed by the previews, if you roll a 20 an an attacks do you hit whatever high is the defense you are aiming for, like in previous editions?

Really? I can't remember seeing that in any of the previews so far.D'karr said:A Natural 1 on an Attack roll is also an auto miss.

EI the enemy has an AC of 30, you roll nat 20+6=26. You still hit, even though your roll was less than the enemies AC, but you do not crit.
If the creatures AC had been 26 or less you would have hit and crited

It's what I was told at DDXP. Of course, different DMs told me different things on other matters, so who knows?psionotic said:I really hope that this is the case...
To my knowledge, this is the correct interpretation according to the demo that I played though I cannot specifically remember reading it anywhere.psionotic said:I really hope that this is the case...
