Warrior's Arm: Roll of "26" on table 1-2

[albcann]

Guys and gals,

My wizard rolled a "26" to earn +2 on Critical Hits (doubled luck modifier of +1). What does the +2 affect? There seems to be 4 possibilities as to what this affects in my opinion:

1 -- The wizard scores a critical hit on an 18 or higher on an attack roll (provided a hit is obtained).

2 -- Whatever the damage is after the CH, 2 is added.

3 -- Whatever the roll on the Crit Table is, you add 2.

4 -- None of the above, it refers affects the attack differently.

Any help would be appreciated.

I always assumed it was a modifier to rolls on the crit table.

3 -- Whatever the roll on the Crit Table is, you add 2.


This. When you are rolling on the Crit table, add 2 to the die roll.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate the help.

Yeah, I'd say #3.

I like to be thorough with my answers, as I find that helps people understand more of the "why" I think something:

1 -- The wizard scores a critical hit on an 18 or higher on an attack roll (provided a hit is obtained).

That would be an increase of 2 to the character's "critical threat range", as defined by the fighter class.

2 -- Whatever the damage is after the CH, 2 is added.

That would be a bonus to "critical damage rolls", as that is the wording all other damage bonuses on the luck table seem to follow.

3 -- Whatever the roll on the Crit Table is, you add 2.

That's the only roll that doesn't have some other name (i.e. it isn't an "attack roll," or a "damage roll," but it is a roll and it does involve criticals), so that is the only possible thing to which the bonus could be saying it would apply.
