[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 4919494, member: 111"] Precision talks about powers that "allow" you to score a critical hit on numbers other than 20. Those powers (except Holy Ardor) all "allow" that critical hit only if the attack roll also is at least equal to the defense score. Sorry, I do not understand the question. Rolling two dice and picking the highest is the same as rolling a die, for you only use one result as your attack roll - the other roll is just to see which one "counts" as you attack roll. Me, too. :) "Doubles" is not the same as using the highest of two rolls - it's an entirely new rule. True, but the "doubles" is [B][I]not[/I][/B] an attack roll. It's something new based upon the two attack roll made with Oath of Enmity, but it's not an attack roll. I just did. Doubles is not an attack roll, it's something new and special. Normally you make two rolls and choose the best one to be your attack roll. Holy Ardor uses the result of both rolls when they match (doubles) - which has nothing to do with whether the result is a hit or not, only if they are doubles. Again, this is something entirely new and unique to this power - that is, an exception to the previous rules. You never use Oath of Enmity without making an attack roll, but the "doubles" you get is not an attack roll - while based upon making two attack rolls, using the result of BOTH rolls (doubles) creates something entirely new.
