Strike True + Destructive Aura


Samurai Discussion: Round 1

Silver Crusade

While reading a combinaton jumped out at me that I was curious how it was intended to work mechanically.

Strike True states that when you attack it is a critical threat, and if he succeeds he does his maximum critical damage on the hit.

Destructive Aura (Cleric ability) states that any critical threats within the aura are automatically confirmed.

My question is: With the combination of these two abilities does this mean when the Samurai attacks (and hits) he then deals maximum damage for critical hit?

I am thinking yes, but I would like input.

I believe you are right. That is also BRUTAL. xD

Good teamwork combo there.

You think that is brutal? Should have seen the critical-focused 16 level barbarian using the paladin aura to smite evil and Mighty Swing.

But I agree, it is a great combination. Especially if both characters have Outflank and Paired Opportunists...
