Spell Damage on a Crit with Spellstrike


Rules Questions


Hi, if using a weapon with x3 crit, does a spellstriked touch spell, like Shocking Grasp, do triple damage in addition to the triple weapon damage?

Scarab Sages

Spells delivered via spellstrike always deals x2 damage when they crit.

This is why magus characters always favor 18-20 x2 weapons.


Let's say a kensai uses Perfect Strike to up the crit to x3. Still does x2 on the spellstriked spell?

Scarab Sages

Yes. Spellstrike is always x2.

Yep. You're lethal enough on your burst damage.


If the weapon is (or becomes) x3 damage, on a crit the weapon would do the x3 damage. Spell strike would do x2 damage.


Thanks, I knew I was getting greedy.
