Brutal Critical

See also: Savage Attacks

Brutal Critical is a Barbarian passive feature. The barbarian makes their critical hits even deadlier.

Description

You've trained to strike swift and true. When you land a Critical Hit^{[See Notes]}, you roll an extra damage die as well as the normal additional critical die.

How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 9: Barbarian

Used by creatures:

• Baff Elkhorn, Bearclaw, Lady Flux, Lobo Denysse, Lord Jannath's Bodyguard, Rage Queller, Tusgront, Ulma

Notes

• This feature only applies to main hand melee weapon attacks or unarmed melee attacks. For comparison, Savage Attacks, a similar racial feature, only applies to melee weapon attacks (main hand or offhand) and not unarmed attacks.
• Weapons that deal multiple damage dice like greatswords or mauls will only receive a single extra damage die from this feature. For example, this feature will add only 1d6 damage to a greatsword critical hit (2d6 base damage), but 1d12 damage to a greataxe critical hit (1d12 base damage).
