Critical Hits

Critical Hits
Every now and then, in coded combat, a Critical Hit may happen. In that case, the attack does more damage than it usually would.

Critical Hits cannot happen on level 0 attacks.

The rate of Critical Hits is influenced by Intelligence. Smart characters are more likely to land insightful blows.

Secondary Damage
If an attack has more than one damage-type, there is a chance for it to roll Secondary Damage, where the attack also does a little bit of stat damage at random.

If you want to do stat damage all the time, buy something like Mini-Corrupt or Corrupt or for more specialized types of stat damage, buy Unnerve, Heavy, Drain, Shatter, or Disintegrate.

Secondary Damage is just a little perquisite that attacks with more than one damage-type have. After all, that extra damage-type costs CP and is thus worth something.

The rate of Secondary Damage is influenced by Intelligence. A smart character can get more out of a fire and ice sword than a dim character can.

Do not try to apply for attacks with more than three damage types. CharStaff will frown at you.
