Critical Chance
Critical Chance is the probability of scoring a Critical Hit on a target.
Calculating Critical Chance
- Basic critical chance equals your Luck.
- Add 10% if you take Finesse
- Add 5% for More Critical
- Add 10% for Even More Criticals
- Add up to 60% for Aimed Attacks (depends on aimed body part and Luck)
- Add up to 5% from crafted weapon
It is possible to build a character whose critical chance would be 95% with an aimed attack. Such characters are usually supposed to be "cripplers".
