Summary: Critical damage effects sometimes don't trigger as I would expect with some descriptors or with dice values. I was following the 4E Effects wiki (https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996641893/4E+Effects) to write these effects.
1. When adding an effect that adds dice to a critical from their enhancement bonus, the dice aren't rolled on a crit. The same goes for other bonus types or range descriptors. I would expect that the damage dice would be rolled on a crit and not stack with other crit damage from the same bonus type.
2. When listing flat damage with a bonus type and the critical tag, the damage was applied to all damage rolls, where I would expect it only to apply to crits.
Ruleset: D&D 4E
Modules and Extensions loaded: None
Operating System: Windows 10
Steps to reproduce:
1. Add an effect to a character that adds typed bonus dice to critical damage like DMG: 1d6 enhancement, critical;
Roll damage while holding shift to trigger a critical hit.
57317
No extra critical dice are rolled
2. Add an effect to a character that adds typed flat damage to criticals like DMG: 1 enhancement, critical;
Roll damage normally.
57318
The 1 damage is still added to the roll.
