Critical Chance

Critical Chance is the probability of scoring a Critical Hit on a target.

Calculating Critical Chance

• Basic critical chance equals your Luck.
• Add 10% if you take Finesse
• Add 5% for each level of More Critical (can be taken up to 3 times)
• Add up to 60% for Aimed Attacks (depends on aimed body part and Luck)

It is possible to build a character whose critical chance would be 95% with an aimed attack. Such characters are usually supposed to be "cripplers".
