#1 theHumanXP Aug 15, 2014 12:13:03	While I have seen statements in older editions and incarnations of The Game mention that it would take a feat to make a magical attack critically hit.   Because there seem to be far fewer save-type magical attacks, now, magical attacks seem to be closer to the melee and ranged- after all, they are competing with AC.  Mechanically, it would appear magical attacks qualify for critical hits.   Any official word on this burning question?

#3 AaronOfBarbaria Aug 22, 2014 22:12:46	According to the rules, if it involves an attack roll and has dice involved in determining how much damage is dealt, it benefits from the critical hit rules (which are part of the larger rules that govern how to make an attack).   That aside, I agree with CCS - Whatever your group wants to do is the only "official" that matters.
