Critical Death & Grit


Gunslinger Discussion: Round 2

Shadow Lodge

Ok, I did a quick search, and didn't see any thread that had talked about this.

How many grit do you get if you crit & kill a creature?

I just rolled up a gunslinger for an upcoming game, and gave him a +1 Thundering Revolver. On a deadly aim crit, this thing will deal 4d8+48+3d8(sonic) damage. Minimum damage makes it massive damage.

So, if you crit and kill the creature do you get 1 or 2 grit? I'd say 2, but since it is from one action, I'm not sure. Thoughts?


"Critical Hit with a Firearm: Each time the gunslinger confirms a critical hit with a firearm attack while in the heat of combat, she regains 1 grit point. Confirming a critical hit on a helpless or unaware creature or on a creature that has fewer Hit Dice than half the gunslinger’s character level does not restore grit."

"Killing Blow with a Firearm: When the gunslinger reduces a creature to 0 or fewer hit points with a firearm attack while in the heat of combat, she regains 1 grit point. Destroying an unattended object, reducing a helpless or unaware creature to 0 or fewer hit points, or reducing a creature that has fewer Hit Dice than half the gunslinger’s character level to 0 or fewer hit points does not restore any grit."

I would assume since you have to confirm a critical before knowing you killed an opponent with it, you get a grit point for confirming. Then, if it kills, you also get a grit point for the kill.
