Critical Hits

AllusiveMan · June 29th, 2020, 01:13 PM

Has anybody written a nifty little script that adds a "critical hit" checkbox to, say, the In Play tab and adjusts the damage calculations for all your weapon attacks? Surely something like this has been suggested a million times by now.

It's not as easy as it might sound, because of all the little corner cases regarding what damage bonuses do or do not get multiplied on a crit (a property of bonuses that Hero Lab does not track). Sneak Attack is a notable example of this.

Bummer. I'd give it a go myself, but I'm a neophyte and it would be a time-consuming project for me. If someone else hasn't done it by now, there must be a good reason.
