Mechanically how would it work in this situation:
A creature hits my teammate of lets say 30 AC with a normal hit, the tree then gets in the middle to soak the dmg of the strike, what happens to resolve the situation:
A) The attack was 30+ but not a crit on the teammate so it does normal DMG to the tree who soaks it as it was made against an AC of 30.
B) The attack critdamages the tree as it has AC 10 always, even thought it was a normal hit on the player.
Thats it, i can't find anywhere 100% legit as a response about that, i've read some reddit posts saying that its the A option but i came to the official forums to be sure 100%
Thanks for the help guys :)
