Variable Criticals

By adding a special line to the notes field, you can change how powerful a critical is for a weapon or enemy.

<critical_multiplier n>

Note that this will only be relevant for enemies if they are capable of dealing critical hits. The default, without this script, is 3. The default with the script is 3, except for unarmed actors where it is 2. Where a character is wielding two weapons, the better multiplier is used.

This script requires the TagNote 2.0 cript to function.

# This replaces the fixed critical hit damage multipler #
# As before, weapons and enemies have a multiplier of 3 #
# if a new one is not specified. To give a weapon or #
# enemy a different bonus, include: #
# <critical_multiplier n> #
# in the note field. Decimals are allowed. This system #
# currently allows values less than 1 (so on a #
# critical, less damage is done). You can also adjust #
# the default unarmed multiplier, and the default #
# multipliers for weapons where it is not specified in #
# the notes field. #
