This seems to be the case. The wording of the book seems to be pointing only at the bonus dice from crits.greyscale1 said:I believe that sneak attacks (and hunter's quarry) are maximized on crits. From what I have read in the books, all damage from an attack OTHER than special critical hit only things are treated as maximum.
Though both of you bring up valid points, on a second read-through I maintain that these 'bonus dice' are intended to be maximized.
