ToB - Crtical Hits and Stances/Maneuvers

[Nifft]

It does say "strikes"....but the "strikes" rules just follow the normal "extra damage" core rules.

Not really. There are a lot of Strikes which grant a flat bonus to damage (like the White Raven charge maneuvers), which would normally be multiplied. The rule explicitly calls this out.

However there are more Stances + Boosts which grant a flat bonus to damage, so I rather suspect this isn't some corner-case oversight. I suspect that such damage is supposed to be multiplied.

But I'd like to know if anyone knows for sure.

Thanks, -- N

Some of the strikes let you do normal weapon damage, plus something extra. I would assume the normal weapon damage would be multiplied, but not that something extra.

Other strikes seem to replace your weapon's normal damage with that of the strike. I would assume this is not multiplied.

But whose to say for sure?

Given that it's *so* easy to pump a skill score, I doubt the "replaced" damage should be multiplied.
