11-29-05, 01:40 PM All +x damage is multiplied, but no +xdy damage is multiplied.

So a fighter/rogue with +2 Flaming sword that you normally do 1d8+2 (magic), +6 (strength), +1d6 (fire), +3d6 Sneak Attack, +2 Weapon Specailizations

When he crits, will do:

(1d8+2+6+2) x2, plus 1d6 (fire), +3d6 (sneak attack)
