Enervation and criticals?

Hypersmurf, I concede the point to you on temporary ability score drain.

But I still feel that a confirmed critical on poison should still do 2d10 instead of 1d10.
It's hard enough to get a nat 20 and then confirm it. Also I've seen people saying that games are not deadly enough. This just makes people feel the threat even if it's not happening.

By the rules, poison damage isn't doubled on a critical.

The poison spell doesn't do the ability damage directly, it creates a poison that you deliver with the touch attack. The touch attack does no damage, so no extra damage is scored on a critical. The poison is delivered when you touch them, and they make the save against the poison.

Hmm, I hope Empowered poison will still do twice 1.5* 1d10 Con damage ?
