Critical Strike and Damage Penalty - Tommi - 03-08-2003

I have a question. Critical strike (and deadly strike) modifies total physical damage. Damage penalty from skills, such as Multiple Shot, modify total damage, too. If I score a critical strike with Multiple Shot, do I get

1.5 times normal damage ( (1-0.25)*2 ), or
1.75 times normal damage ( 1-0.25+1 ) ?

That is, do these effects get first summed up or do they multiply total damage separately?

Thanks in advance,

Tommi

Critical Strike and Deadly Strike are game effects and are handled seperately from the regular damage calculation. The damage would be
1.5 times normal damage ( (1-0.25)*2 )
in this case.
