D&D 3.5 e - how do I add damage dice to a weapon that only fire on crits

[gmkieran]

Couldn't find this in the wiki or site search. Running currently 3.5e rules. Want to add 2d6 fire damage when a weapon crits. Anyone provide the format I need to enter on the weapon entry, please?

Thanks!

You can't add damage to a weapon that only fires on a crit.

You can either add another weapon entry, or add a one-roll effect: DMG:2d6 fire I'd go with the effect - if you're used to setting up a bunch of effects as a "spell class".

Sneak attack damage is very similar. I've added Sneak Attack to my effects section (with target=self and for one roll):

Click the effect button before you roll crit damage.

Thanks, Trenloe! I thought that might be the solution, but I've never gotten the hang of setting up effects and this is for someone even less familiar with the mechanics of FG than I, so explaining it is going to be interesting.

Cheers!
