strenoth 05-14-04, 01:49 PM	example A is correct. Damage reduction applies to each hit a critical is one hit that simply does normal the amount of damage so Damage reduction applies to it once, being subtracted from the total damage. How is this even close to a point of confusion? if you were to apply example B, you'd be apply Damage reduction twice to the same attack & hit.
ieattrollsforbreakfast 05-14-04, 01:49 PM	Example A is right. You apply DR after you multiply for critcals.

strenoth 05-14-04, 02:59 PM	the total ruling is not explicitly stated anywhere, because it doesn't need to be. A critical hit is still just one attack/hit. never is it any where described as being anything else damage reduction reduces damage from an attack. by a specific number method A follows this description method b reduces damage reduction twice fromt eh same atack, why woudl you do that?
imager 05-14-04, 03:42 PM	OK thank you for the info….. I could not find it and was hopping it was in back and white somewhere. Other system IE Gurps say to take out the DR then Double or Triple the damage left. Just trying to clear t up before it comes up in a game where it matters.. Does not matter to me because it works both ways…. (For the PC and NPC)
