Quick Question on Vicious

[Raolin_Fenix]

Does the extra 2d6 damage dealt by a Vicious weapon multiply on a critical hit?

Example: If I'm using a Greatsword (base damage 2d6) with the Vicious property and crit, am I essentially doing 4d6x2 damage, or is it 2d6x2 + 2d6?


What about the 1d6 damage dealt to me? If I crit the enemy, does it do 1d6x2 damage to me, too?

[Takamari]

I would say not. It is similar to the flaming or shocking enchantments, and both of those are not multiplied with a critical hit. If I am not mistaken, extra dice are never multiplied, see sneak attack, skirmish, and sudden strike.

[Dizlag]

Takamari is correct. See the exception part of Multiplying Damage.

Cool. Thankee!

[Person_Man]

Extra dice of damage are never multiplied.

So Sneak Attack is never multiplied, Vicious is never multiplied, Flaming weapons are never multiplied, etc. But the +1 bonus from a +1 Longsword is multiplied, the Paladin's Smite bonus to damage is multiplied, your Str bonus is multiplied, etc.
