Rolling a 1 to confirm a critical hit

[Mysterious Stranger]

Does a natural 1 fail to confirm a critical hit even if the character has a high enough bonus to otherwise hit?

[Diego Rossi]

Yes, it is a to hit roll, so it follows the same rules.

[vhok]

yes, of course it fails.

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... If the confirmation roll is a miss, then your hit is just a regular hit.

A natural 1 (the d20 comes up 1) on an attack roll is always a miss.
