This would do an additional 4D6 fire damage.But: Since he landed a critical hit with the weapon and the spell is triggered as if it was cast on the opponent an hit by itself - does it also get double damage (8d6) from the initial attack roll of 20?Basic damage: 1d8+Str+Enh + 4d6(fire)Critical damage: 1d8+2*(Str+Enh) + 8d6Is this right?Thinking one step further:Lets assume our gish has a high enough level to cast a scorching ray with 2 rays and casts this into his weapon. Again he lands a hit against the BBEG and chooses to trigger the spell.Since the spell "hits" along with the weapon and no seperate attack roll is needed to check whether the rays hit, I assume a roll of twenty makes BOTH rays crit hit for a total of 2*8d6 = 16d6 (+ weapon dmg, str and enh, ofc).Again, is ths right?Thanks for your help <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
