Any dice you roll in an attack are doubled with a crit, even the sneak attack. It's the flat bonuses like +1, +7, etc that are added only after the doubling.
Well once every 20 rounds they do.
Oh, they're fun alright. But there are other classes that benefit as well. Take a look at the paladin and their smite - they get to declare it after they see their attack roll. So when that 20 comes up and they crit, then they can burn their highest spell level to power their smite for lots of damage. It's kind of glorious in a way.
There's been a lot of change since those days.
Yeah, but the class just seems very computergamey, to me. Never appealed.
