Question(s) 1:
Alright, I figured out that I can drag dice into the damage field, and then I can roll dice from that field. That's great, but how do I add modifiers to those dice? In my particular example, I have a wizard with a dagger (1d4) and a -2 STR penalty. THe -2 STR penalty isn't automatically applying, so I need to enter it somehow?

Question 2
What is the short box under the damage box for?

Question 3
What am I supposed to add into the critical box field? it doesnt seem large enough to write 2x 19-20. I also can't see to get x2 in there, only +2, which doesn't follow normal nominclature for criticals.

Question 4
What is the smaller box below the critical field for?


Thanks in advance!

Finally figured that one out after some trial and error -

top left box = damage die, as you mentioned.

Top right box is damage modifier -- you can mouse-wheel over it

bottom left is crit range

bottom right is crit mult.

Thanks! I think what threw me off was the word critical directly above the large box in the upper left. That made me think the large box in the upper left was a critical box, whereas it is actually bonus damage.

Unfortunately this is a common mistake. :p The Crit text would be better next to the crit boxes but there isn't any room for it.

bottom right is crit mult.Where does the crit range come into effect? I have mine set to 20 with a crit mult. set to 2. Does this mean when I roll a 20 that it will multiply my damage by two?

I think the crit stuff is just for show -- I've played around with it and three's been no notification of a critical threat or such.

Yes it is pure text info
