Deadly and Fatal weapons

[Staffan Johansson]

Seriously, why are these two different traits? I mean, I get that Fatal is more powerful, but is that enough reason to have two traits that both say "This weapon deals extra damage on a crit"? Why not just have a bigger Deadly?

Because they are different. Deadly adds separate dice and scales with weapon quality. A legendary rapier will do 1d6 + 3d8 on a crit. Fatal increases the weapon die to the value and adds one extra weapon die. A legendary greatpick will deal 2d12 on a crit. This is especially noticeable when you add potency runes. The same legendary rapier at +5 will deal 6d6 + 3d8 on a crit, whereas a +5 legendary greatpick will deal 7d12 on a crit.
