renau1g's Fort Belurian Adventure [Pathfinder] - OOC

[Leif]

The conquistadors had mithril?

Not all of the conquitadors had mithral. The Portuguese actually generally preferred adamantine, except for a few of their more "nancy-boy" inclined captains who went with the Spanish mithral.

 

[BigEye]

Ah, maybe I didnt make it clear enough.

I'll try to re-word it, so as to not overconfuse myself (and you!).

You deal additional damage equal to your
weapon’s critical hit modifier when you score a successful
critical hit with a weapon; this additional damage is added
to the final total, and is not multiplied by the critical
hit multiple itself. This extra damage is a trait bonus.

The bolded part is basically what Im slightly confused about. the x2 etc is the Multiplier, is it not? Whereas the Modifier would be the relevant modifier added to the attack roll on the critical hit confirm.
However, it says the weapons modifier, and in my case it would be either:

+2 bonus damage if using the x2 multiplier reasoning.
or
+2 bonus using the +2 enhancement bonus modifier on the bow itself
or
+9 bonus, including the ehancement, dex and focus modifiers on the attack with the weapon.

I think I just confused myself even more.

 

[Leif]

Ok Big Eye, you're either making this MUCH more difficult than it really is, or else I am even more confused than you are. My understanding has always been that crits in pfrpg work just like crits in dnd 3.5. (Boy I sure hope that I'm right here!)

Yes, the x2 is the multiplier. So with this trait, if you scored a crit with a longsword, it would do 2 extra points of damage to TOTAL DAMAGE. A battleaxe would do 3 points, and a scythe would do 4.

Well, that adamantine would get hot and sweaty down in central/south america, where mithril is like wearing light linen.

 

[renau1g]

The multiplier would be my ruling on this, so +2 damage for x2 multiplier, +3 for x3, & +4 for x4.

Which explains why almost all of the countries in South America now speak Spanish instead of Portuguese!

DM Renau1g - I like the Samurai Kitties!

Ha! You're too smart for your own good, Sweetleif!

 

[renau1g]

Yeah, of course they wore mithril, they had to do something with it after pillaging it from the Mayans

Player Leif - I also enjoy kittens, they do such funny things, especially when they spar with each other.
