This came up in a youtube video and i was just wondering whats the offical ruling if it exists. If you have an ability that lets you roll twice on an attack and take the best ...
1) Does it only apply to the initial attack role only or do you also roll twice on the crticial?
2) if only one "attack roll" gets the benefit can you choose to apply it to confirming a crit rather than the initial attavk as that is also an attack roll?

Crits include all modifiers. A roll isnt one. True strike would be.
You could reroll the crit sure, with few exceptions where noted like roll 3 times take the best to start. Check the wording on each.
I did it refers to an "attack" roll in the critical and in the ability.
Perfect Strike
Benefit: You must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus a failed attack roll ruins the attempt).
Critical Hit
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.
The critical hit say's "Make ANOTHER attack roll" so its part of the same attack but a different attack roll. What I'm wondering is can you use for this example perfect strike on the critical confirmation but not the original attack or does the "same modifiers" bit allow to roll twice for both the original attack and the critical confirmation even though you normally only get it for ONE attack roll?

Perfect strike is in a special place were in order to attack at ALL you must declare a perfect strike. And if it crit chances you use the second result.
I would say like I said before check the wording. Wording on this one seems to lean no. The attack initially must be declared a perfect strike.
Again it's a case by case based on the ability. If your GM says it's ok go for it but the wording seems to say the initial attack must be declared.
