Sedda 3 Posted April 29 When a character succeeds an strike and they spend 2 opportunity to cause a critical strike, is it in addition to the normal Fatigue caused by the attack, or instead of it? If an attack causes both Fatigue and a critical, and the Fatigue gets over the top, does it also cause a second critical wound? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myrion 528 Posted April 30 Yes to all. Opportunities always happen before the success resolution of a roll and in addition to it (unless they state otherwise, I suppose). The clearest example of this are any of the range-extending opportunities, which make the success of the action possible in the first place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sedda 3 Posted April 30 So, it is possible to get two critical wounds from the same strike? It seems a little... wow, isn't it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Generally speaking, being hit by swords is detrimental to one's health. 2 Myrion and DSalazar reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myrion 528 Posted April 30 (edited) That's by using Veiled Menace Style, by the way, on an incapacitated and (disoriented or unaware) target and spending at least three opportunities on a successful Strike. 2 Opp to Crit, 1+ Opp to Crit from VMS, and then extra Fatigue becomes a third Crit. Since they are incapacitated, the first crit will make them Unconscious and increase the severity of crits 2 and 3 by 10. It's not easy to achieve, but that person will be in very bad shape.

Just to note: if you're on, say, 9/10 fatigue and take 3 fatigue, you don't suffer a critical strike. You suffer a critical strike if already on 11+ fatigue and are hit again. 2 Myrion and Soktine reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
