Power Critical?
What is power critical? I read it's description and I still don't really understand it... can someone explain it, pl0x?

When you roll in your threat range you have a possibility of getting a critical hit...but only a possibility. Next you have to make a hit on your confirmation roll (not a 20 just a hit). Thats why you see more criticals on low ac opponents.
The deal with power critical is it adds +5 I think to that second roll.
Someone (very knowledgeable) told me that it adds about a 1% chance to get a critical for every threat range of your critical. So a weapon master with a scimitar it is decent but with no keen or improved critical and a low threat weapon of course it is pretty useless and you should probably take great fortitude or something like that instead (maybe knockdown eg).

Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.

Yes it doesn't add any bonus to your attack roll, but it does add a bonus to the second roll which is the roll to see if the critical is 'confirmed'.
To get a critical:
1) Hit (no bonus from power critical)
2) In threat range (no bonus from power critical but yes a bonus for improved crit)
3) Roll a successful confirmation roll (power crit DOES help that one)
