04-23-08, 02:44 AM Do morale bonuses factor in when you're calculating critical hit damage? For example, if a character has Bless cast on him, and he crits, does the +1 morale bonus to damage only factor in once (on the initial damage roll?), or does it get doubled/tripled/whatever as well?

On to the real subject: flat bonuses to damage are multiplied on critical hits regardless of bonus type. Extra dice of damage are not multiplied on critical hits. A +1 morale bonus on damage would be multiplied, a +1d6 morale bonus would not (though where you'd find a +1d6 morale bonus to damage, I have no sweet clue).
