[QUOTE="Hackenslash, post: 915434, member: 11770"] Hello All, For my 2 Cents, I would say that if a creature is immune to criticals then it is in theory impossible to do critical damage against the creature. However, if there is a special effect or type of damage that may be in an area then the "Critical" effect, not necessarily the Bonus Damage, would still go off but just not damage the creature, but maybe damage others not immune nearby, depending on the effect etc... But then again, if the weapon in question is specifically designed to damage particular types of creatures, for the example the aforementioned "mace of smiting" then critical hits from this weapon would effect a "Construct" for instance, who would normally be immune to critical effects. However a Keen weapon would be no more effective than a normal weapon or magic weapon for Critical Hits, against a crature immune to critcal effects. Regarding weapons effect and critical damage, well I would interpret the rules, that if an Undead for example was hit by a Flaming Burst weapon, then it would take the "Bonus Fire Damage" but not the added "Critical x2 or x3 etc.." damage as it's immune to Critical Damage, but not to the effect that the Weapon or Critical effect created. Anyway that's my thoughts on this thread. Hope it helps.....:D [/QUOTE]
