====Critical Hits====
Critical hits allow you to inflict twice as much damage onto the target for melee and ranged weapons and an additional 50% of the maximum (50% of the minimum for PvP) damage of a magical spell (i.e. 90 of a 110-180 spell). 10% of all melee and ranged attacks and 5% of projectile spells are critical hits. Critical hits can also be inflicted by creatures.

Your critical hit chance can be increased permanently with the [[Eye of the Remorseless]] augmentation and by attacking with a weapon that has the [[Biting Strike]] or [[Critical Strike]] special property.

Your critical damage max can also be increased by attacking with a weapon that has the [[Crushing Blow]] or [[Crippling Blow]] special property. In addition, your character's [[Rating]] for critical damage can be increased to improve damage (see [[#Character Rating|below]] for more information on character rating and damage modifiers).
