although the mean result is the same, the probability distribution is different-- 1d6 doubled has an equal chance of rolling any number between 2 and 12, whereas 2d6 yields a bell curve, with numbers near the middle of the range more likely than numbers near the extremes.

It uses the PF2 rules, but there's an option in the settings to use the PF1 rules instead - the Critical Hits section in "Core Options"
