More things are critable....


General Discussion (Prerelease)


I have heard many people talk about how many more things are critable or even back stabable (that a word? :)

I have looked through the book to find where it says this but I am not able to find it. I have read that you can even crit undead now.

Could someone please give me a page number where I can confirm this? I know I will have to show it to my DM in black and white before he believes it.

As far as I know, this has never been explicitly stated by the Paizo team. It is more in the realms of fan speculation that, as creatures immune to crits are immune to sneak attacks, now that Pathfinder is saying that more creatures can be sneak attacked (Design Notes page 39 of the Beta), they can also be subject to critical hits. There is no evidence this is the case, but the logic is not unreasonable.
