Confirming a critical: Sudden Attack and Legendary Champion


Rules Questions


Probably a dumb question but does the Mythic path ability Sudden Attack allow you to also roll a confirmation roll twice, taking the higher result?

Same concept in question with the Legendary Champion ability. If the confirmation roll does not beat the AC, do you immediately roll it again, taking the second result?

For reference:

Sudden Attack (Ex)
As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power to make a melee attack at your highest attack bonus. This is in addition to any other attacks you make this round. When making a sudden attack, you roll twice and take the better result, adding your tier to the attack roll. Damage from this attack bypasses all damage reduction.

Legendary Champion (Ex)
At 10th tier, whenever you make an attack roll against a non-mythic foe and miss, you may immediately roll again. You must take the second roll, even if it’s lower. Once per round when you roll a natural 20 on an attack roll, you regain one use of mythic power.

No, the confirmation roll is made only once. You merely roll to confirm with the same modifiers as the original attack.

So you would roll twice and take the better of the two rolls. If you threaten on that roll, confirm as normal.

They would roll twice on the confirmation roll, this has been addressed in the other copy of this double post. There is no need to reply in this one if you disagree, reply in the linked thread instead.
