-Critical hit is a combat mechanics that gives a small luck based chance to have a guaranteed success hit.
+Critical hits are a combat mechanic that guarantee a successful hit with a small chance.
 == Base Mechanics ==
-A critical are [[dice roll|rolled]] on a 1d20 dice, if you rolled a >=20, your hit will be a crit. Crit ignores [[DV]] and [[AV]] of the target within a single penetration. Subsequent penetrations do not receive those advantages but still benefit from increased damage all critical hits have.
+To-hit rolls use a [[dice roll|roll]] on a 1d20 dice, if the result is equal to or greater than 20, the hit will be a crit.
+Crits dealt with melee weapons ignore the [[DV]] and, if the source of the damage is the player, the [[AV]] of the target for the first penetration. Subsequent penetrations do not ignore AV but still benefit from a +1 bonus to PV. Melee critical hits also cause a splatter of {{favilink|blood}}, however this does not actually cause any additional damage and is not the same as a [[bleeding]] effect.{{Code Reference|name=Combat|namespace=XRL.World.Parts|class=Combat|method=FireEvent|case="MeleeAttackWithWeapon"}}
+Crits with ranged weapons increase the PV of the shot by 2.
 == Modifiers ==
-{{missing info|How is missile weapon critical hit calculation done?}}
-* Some weapon types have a unique special status effect that it naturally causes on critical hits.
+* Melee weapon types each have a special effect when dealing critical hits. These effects apply even if the attacker does not have the related weapon skill: <ref name="Combat" />
-** Short Blades can cause [[Bleeding]]
+** Short Blades will cause [[bleeding]], dealing 0-1 damage per turn to the target {{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Skill|class=ShortBlades}}
-** Axe can cause [[Cleaved]]
+** Axes will [[Cleaved|cleave]] armor, reducing the AV of the target {{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Skill|class=Axe}}
-** Cudgel can cause [[Stunned]]
+** Cudgels [[Dazed|daze]] enemies, lowering their [[agility]], [[intelligence]], and [[move speed]], and setting them up for a potential [[Stunned|stun]] if they are critical hit a second time. {{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Skill|class=Cudgel}}
-** Missile weapon generally deals extra damage
+** Long Blades get a +2 bonus to penetration (even if this would exceed the weapon's penetration cap)
-** Grenade?
+* The tinkering mod [[masterwork]] reduces the 1d20 roll needed to achieve a critical hit by 1. With no other modifiers, this enables scoring a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20, for a total critical hit chance of 10%.{{Code Reference|class=ModMasterwork}}
-* [[Masterwork]] mods doubles the critical chance by making the roll a 1d20+1.
+*[[Weak Spotter]] also reduces the 1d20 roll needed to achieve a critical hit by 1. With no other modifiers, this enables scoring a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20, for a total critical hit chance of 10%.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Skill|class=Pistol_WeakSpotter}} When combined with [[masterwork]], this results in a total critical hit chance of 15%.{{Code Reference|class=ModMasterwork}}{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World|class=GetCriticalThresholdEvent}}
-** This may be tripled by pistol skills [[Weak Spotter]] which adds to the critical chance bonus.
+* {{favilink|precision nanon fingers}} reduce the 1d20 roll needed to achieve a critical hit by 2. With no other modifiers, this enables scoring a critical hit on a roll of 18, 19, or 20, for a total critical hit chance of 15%. Multiple pairs stack additively (for example, two pairs reduce the roll needed by 4, for a total critical hit chance of 25%). This bonus can also be combined additively with the bonus from [[masterwork]] or [[Weak Spotter]].
+*[[Beacon Fire]] requires the target to be flaming, luminous or phosphorescent, but guarantees a critical hit with rifles or bows when used
+*[[Dead Shot]] doubles the PV bonus of crits made with pistols from +2 PV to +4 PV
+* [[Ruin of House Isner]] receives an additional +4 to its PV on crits, and automatically crits on the last shot of a full magazine
