Is there a way to get HLO to calculate critical hit damage as base damage total doubled, rather than doubling the damage dice?

The GM might allow you to roll the dice twice and double the modifiers, bonuses, and penalties instead of doubling the entire result, but this usually works best for single-target attacks or spells at low levels when you have a small number of damage dice to roll.

The way it currently calculates it isn't really the default manner in which it should be calculated.
