Pistol Crit damage multiplier not applying?
« on: January 19, 2022, 09:54:24 AM »
Hi!

I am not sure...but it seems to me that the damage multiplier from critical hits with pistols is no more applied...

Or am i missing something?

Looks like your critical was not confirmed. After you roll a 20, you roll again to confirm. You have to beat the targets AC to confirm. Your second rolls there are a 19 and a 13, pretty lowball.

Yup! But why it make me roll initiative? I mean... With a +4 (which is not to hit bonus) you ll never beat any AC.. Anyway maybe it is just normal... I was asking because before it was always triggering and applying the damage.. Even at very low level.

I tried with my other PC...with melee weapon and it is quite different...since it doesn't roll "initiative" but a threat roll with the same "to hit" bonus...(+14)

With pistols, on second roll, it rolls initiative with just a plain +4 (which is my dex bonus), and it is never going to beat anything...i am quite sure that something has changed recently, because it used to work fine with considerable damage output.

It's a bug that's been going for a few weeks and has been reported. Last I heard it was being fixed.

This should now be fixed on the test server.
