Critical Hit[]
Critical Hits are an aspect of the combat system which represent a particularly successful attempt at an action.
All weapons and most spells have a Critical Hit variation of their normal effect. This usually means doing higher damage. However, a wide variety of critical hit effects exist, so check the spell to be sure what it does.
Critical Failure[]
Critical Failures are an aspect of the combat system which represent a particularly unsuccessful attempt at an action.
Unlike Critical Hits, a Critical Failure simply causes the action to fail. However, the cost (in AP/MP/WP) is still spent.
Base Values[]
- The base Critical Hit value for all classes is 3.
- The base Critical Failure value for all classes is 0. Without increasing this, no Critical Failures will occur for a character.
Hit vs Failure[]
If you manage a Critical Hit and a Critical Failure in the same action, then the Critical Failure takes precedence. The cost will be spent, but no further effect will take place.
Altering Criticals[]
A number of spells, and effects, can alter the chance of Critical Hits or Failure of a creature.
