I ran some tests with combat debugging, and I saw Overwhelming Criticals and Massive Criticals applied to the same critical hit. I also saw Overwhelming Criticals and Thundering Rage criticals applied to the same critical hit. So I fixed the notes. --The Krit 18:16, 7 February 2007 (PST)
Is the 1d6 applied before the weapon multiplier or after?
Example:
Heavy Xbow at this point would be 17-20 crit range and *2 multiplier. If I roll a 1 for damage, with an normal Xbow, would it be (1+1d6) *2, or 1*2 +1d6 ?Bromium 10:24, 28 March 2007 (PDT)
- Neither, technically, although the latter is closer. If you score an overwhelming critical with a heavy crossbow, the damage would be 2d10 + 1d6. (Criticals are multiple die rolls, not one roll multiplied.) --The Krit 07:54, 29 March 2007 (PDT)
Testing results[]
After much testing I have received a pattern that models the following damage for overwhelming critical.
Base damage x multiplier + 1d6 x multiplier for a normal overwhelming critical.
Maximum base damage + base damage x (multiplier -1) + 1d6 for Ki damage overwhelming critical
Maximum base damage + base damage x (multiplier -1) for Ki damage critical.
Has anyone else done an in depth testing of overwhelming critical? I have already established that the game description does not account for all the damage.

Say you have a scimmy with 2x and OC gives 1d6 extra on a crit...on level 7 or whatever WM it goes to 3x crit. Do you get now a 2d6 OC or still a 1d6? --71.40.148.178 23:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Since the critical multiplier is x3, you get 2d6 extra damage from overwhelming critical. --The Krit 22:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
note #4[]
quote "Despite the game description, overwhelming critical actually adds an additional 1d6 for a total of (critical multiplier)d6 extra damage. "
I dont understand it, can someone explain it more? Or its just the same but means that it works even with x5 or higher?

- It means x2 multiplier gets 2d6, x3 gets 3d6, x4 gets 4d6, x5 gets 5d6. The description given for the feat states critical gets 1d6, x3 gets 2d6, x4 gets 3d6. WhiZard 04:08, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
