Natural attack and critical


Rules Questions


For my edilon it has 2 claw attacks and the bite, I can not find the Crit range for these attacks, do they have any and if so what I am guessing it would only be 20 x2

Unless specifically noted in the entry a natural weapon only crits on a 20 for x2.

Or more generally, unless specifically noted in the entry ANY WEAPON only crits on a 20 for x2.


It's in the combat section of the rulebook, under standard actions - attack.

Quote:

Critical Hits: When you make an attack roll and get a natural 20 (the d20 shows 20), you hit regardless of your target's Armor Class, and you have scored a “threat,” meaning the hit might be a critical hit (or “crit”). To find out if it's a critical hit, you immediately make an attempt to “confirm” the critical hit—another attack roll with all the same modifiers as the attack roll you just made. If the confirmation roll also results in a hit against the target's AC, your original hit is a critical hit. (The critical roll just needs to hit to give you a crit, it doesn't need to come up 20 again.) If the confirmation roll is a miss, then your hit is just a regular hit.

A critical hit means that you roll your damage more than once, with all your usual bonuses, and add the rolls together. Unless otherwise specified, the threat range for a critical hit on an attack roll is 20, and the multiplier is ×2.
