Critical Strikes

[Irondrake]

Is there a way to override how critical hits are handled in this ruleset? Rather than rolling a confirmation roll and then doubling the damage dice, I'd like to just maximize the damage on the dice that would be normally be rolled for damage, then roll the damage die of the weapon and add it to the total.

This is possible, but it would require a change to the ruleset critical damage handling code. This is in the modDamage function in the scripts\manager_action_damage.lua script.

Could this be done in an extension or does the modification have to be done directly in the ruleset?

[Trenloe]

Extensions effectively change/add to a ruleset by overwriting ruleset files (and adding new ones as needed). So, yes, this would be best done within an extension - but it would be modifying the file I referenced above.

Ok looks like I need to study up on how to make extensions :)
