Editing Critical (section)

== Critical Hit ==
In some roleplaying games a critical hit is when an attack does something devastating to the foe on the opposing end of the blow. To show such a result the damage is multiplied by some value or the damage rolled is [[maximized]] instead. Critical hits are usually determined by rolling the highest value in [[roll over]] systems or lowest value in [[roll under]] systems on the dice used to reach a conclusion. Some abilities may also cause an attack to auto crit, or automatically count as a critical hit.

=== Confirming ===
Some games, like [[D&D]] and [[Dark Heresy]], require "confirming" the crit before accepting it. In most cases, this involves rolling to-hit again:
* If that second roll misses, then it's a regular attack.
* If that second roll hits (it's not necessary to crit again), then the critical hit is accepted as such.
