Blood boil and crits


Rules Questions


Hey,
looking at this spell for my Magus.
What is the effect of a crit on this spell?
Is it a case of no effect due to the damage occurring on the target's turns or do you multiply the damage each round as normal?


Interesting question. I would say that the weapon damage is doubled but the spell effect is not impacted.


no effect since the damage is occurring on the target's turn.


I believe no effect (on the spell) because delivering the spell does not cause any damage itself.

Also, it's not a touch range spell and can't be delivered via spell strike. I don't even see it being available on the Magus spell list.

*Note that I am presuming that you are referring to the spell Boiling Blood, as I didn't find one called Blood Boil.

I see, it's from Magical Marketplace.

Well, regardless my general stance still stands. As the spell does not directly inflict damage, I think the critical hit does nothing to the spell's damage.


Thanks guys.
I was hoping for some obscure reference to make this one much more fun but I will make do.
