Simple question: Books appear unclear...If there is a magical item that says a critical does an additional D8, does that apply 8 damage immediately? Seems a bit redundant to say 1D8 if it just does 8 damage. Do you roll these bonus dice per plus, or just maximize them? Page number if available?

You roll them. Otherwise it would say "Add X amount of damage"
At least, that's what I assume and how my group plays it.

P.278 of PHB1.
You don't maximize the added effects if it says you roll a die for it.

Much appreciated. I was in a 1 on 1, and sure I wanted to win, but I landed a crit against a fellow player, but forgot about my crit die, and during his turn that immediately followed the hit, I remembered and he just shut his laptop. HOORAY FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF WINNING WITHOUT REPROGRAMMING TIME TO FIT!
EDIT: I must be exhausted or a moron. I looked there like three times and missed it every time.
