The word successful is not the game mechanic word here, the word "hit" is.Hit is defined (successful attack roll).Attack roll is defined (roll, equal to or greater than AC, hit and damage)A critical hit is not a hit, it is a critical hit. It is a specific term with specific usage. It can be done after (some) normal attacks (hits) and after (some) touch attacks (touches). But, this does not mean that hits are touches.There really is no confusion here.An attack roll is not a touch attack roll. They are two different yet similar game mechanics.A critical hit is not a hit. They are two different yet similar game mechanics.A hit is not a touch. They are two different yet similar game mechanics.It is only when someone attempts to read a touch attack roll as an attack roll, a hit as a touch, or a critical hit as a hit when confusion seeps in. But, if you keep them as distinct game terms and game mechanics and not try to say that one is equal to another when they are not, the rules then become crystal clear.</blockquote>
