Critical Hits

A critical hit represents an exceptionally well-placed strike, dealing severe damage to the target.

• You roll all of the attack's damage dice twice and add them together.
• Add any relevant modifiers to the total.

For example, if you score a critical hit with a longsword (1d8) and have a Strength modifier of +3, you roll 2d8 and add 3 to the total damage.

If the attack involves other damage dice, such as from the rogue's Sneak Attack feature, you roll those dice twice as well.

What can cause a critical hit?

• Rolling a natural 20 on an attack roll.
• Hitting a paralyzed or unconscious target.
• Hitting a creature affected by the hold person spell, or other spells with this effect.
• Specific feats, traits, monster attacks or other effects.
