[QUOTE="Dalin the Monk, post: 166671, member: 778"] Ok, correct my terminology if I'm wrong... but in a normal fight you roll a d20. If the roll falls within the crit range of the weapon you are using, it is called a threat. From the SRD: When a character makes an attack roll and gets a natural 20, the character hits regardless of the target's AC, and the character has scored a threat. Once it is determined that the character has scored a threat, they must roll again to confirm the threat. From the SRD: To find out if it's a critical hit, the character immediately makes a critical roll — another attack roll with all the same modifiers as the attack roll the character just made. If the critical roll also results in a hit against the target's AC, the character's original hit is a critical hit. So, the first roll determines if there is a threat.... the second roll determines if the threat is confirmed. That being the case, "You should roll the d20 anyway and use that roll to check for a threat of a critical hit." seems, to me, to mean the same thing as the first roll of a normal combat. It mentions threats, not confirms. [/QUOTE]
