Critical

Critical is a mechanic in Shadowrun. It increases the damage taken by characters.


 * If an attack is critical, the damage is multiplied by a modifier which is greater than 1x.
 * The chance of critical attacks on characters in cover is 0, unless the character is being flanked.
 * Certain skills and attacks can increase the chance of critical hits. However, characters in cover will negate such increases due to the rule stated above.
