Increased Criticals

[Harakani]

hey
Don't meant to nitpick, but just wondering
"you can expend one daily use of mythic power to increase any d20 roll you just made by rolling 1d6 and adding it to the results"

This doesn't say bonus, and seems to imply it increases the die result.
If I roll a 19 on an attack roll and add 1, is it a natural 20? Is it a 20 for the purposes of critical?

Guessing I'm just misreading it.

While it doesn't really say, I would rule that this does not alter the natural result of the die. This would just be silly and could result in "natural" 21s to 26s.

I do not see why not. It would be pretty mythic to get more crits.

Natural rolls are only ever the actual number on the die rolled. Otherwise they are by definition not 'Natural'.

The are rare spells in 3.5 and PF that will allow you to 'create' natural results but they always explicitly and specifically state so.

Adding to the results of the roll is not the same as a "natural" result. As such, this does not trigger critical hits.

I have noted this already for clarification.

I am moving this thread to the Player Feedback Forum.

Sorry - searched but couldn't find an answer for mythic.
Glad to hear it.
Thanks
