Criticals... How to maximize them

[Hypersmurf]

is this correct.... if not where did I go wrong

Check p275 of the PHB - "Multiplying".

x3 and x3 = x5, not x9, in 3rd Edition

thanks... for the refferance.....

it was more "devistating" (their words not mine) the other way.

To somehow say that a burst is more fantastic because of a variety of reasons including the (weapon master arguement) is unresonable. (does a wand get a critical? does a staff? do magic missles?)

If the spell you are casting is weapon-like, deals damage, and you have to make an attack roll to see if you hit, then yes indead it can do critical damage.
