MSLE v1.1

[Ruvanal]

The critical only applied to the physical part of the damage.

I may not have understood that quite right, though.

For player characters the critical hits was only applied to the physical portion of their attacks. For monsters (including mercs) the critical can be applied to any form of the attack (phys, lgtn, fire, cold, mag and maybe some of their other special types) and to any of their attack methods. Just stand in one of the vampires firewalls and watch the critical hit sparks on you, it is a fire only type of attack.

From what I could tell there was only one check for the critical being done at which point all the damage from that attack was getting doubled. Very nasty when getting hit by multiple bolts from a MSLE that may have other mods on it also; considering all the bolts in the volley against you are considered one attack.
