Level Up (A5E) Question about Crits

[Stalker0]

For LU crits, I know that it "doubles everything".

is it on a crit (lets say a 2d6 damage)

roll 4d6
or
roll 2d6 and double result

 

[Morrus]

RAW it's the latter, but doing the former doesn't break anything.

Thank you good to know. That actually makes crits quite strong in LU, which will increase the deadliness of certain encounters. As someone who has really be hankering for more challenge in the system that is something I eagerly look forward to.

Is it double everything, including modifiers?

For example, if you normally roll 2d6+4 on a hit, does it become (2d6+4)x2, or is it (2d6)x2+4?

Kinda hope it's this one. I have never liked the concept of crits being able to be weaker than a regular hit.

We already know that LU doubles everything on a crit, so based on what Morris said earlier it should be.

(2d6+4) x2

Aka you roll the damage, add all modifiers, and then double.

 

[Vampersan]

Oooh, nice. I like this change from O5e. Like you said, it makes things a little more deadly!

as it should have been from the start.

Also, we like to roll all dice, so we will do 4d6+8 as this example.

Yeah, big creatures can really ring your bell if they get a crit.
