Johnny McNostrength swings his +1 flaming burst scimitar and hits on a 17.
He deals 1d6+1d6 damage.

Next round, Johnny gets a nat 20, with successful confirmation roll.
Does he deal 1d6+1d6+1d0 or 1d6+1d10?
I had always thought it was the latter, but rereading the ability makes me think the former.


Nothing about the weapon enchantment changes the basic rules of the crit. So your example would be 2d6+2 (scimitar doubled) +d6 (flaming) +d10 (flaming burst).

Mostly I was just questioning if the 1d6 fire damage was overwritten by the 1d10 fire damage or if you get both on a crit. Thanks!
