related question: when calculating crit damage, does HLO roll one damage die and then double it (per the PF2e rules), or roll two damage dice and add them together (like in 1e)?

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.
