Crit Hit's now ALWAYS hit?!

[OmegaWeX]

Ok....now the FAQ's been updated and while reading through it, I came across this:
"Critical Hits

Rolling a critical hit means that you hit regardless of what you needed to roll; it does not bypass powers like Super Senses and Impervious, nor does it ignore damage reduction/prevention super powers. "

Now, I'm hoping I read this wrong, but from what I got does this mean that my rookie thug could, assuming they roll a crit hit, hit my Veteran Invisible Woman despite the fact that he's only at an 18?

PLEASE tell me I'm reading this wrong, because if I'm not....this game will definitly change for the worse.

[The Sandman]

That is correct, but this has been the same ruling since the beginning, just check your original rulebook.

[Akakrz]

err......Thats how its always been, you've misunderstood the rules from day one buckaroo

[TheEnigma]

Yup, everybody's correct. Every thug has his day, even in the comics the lackeys can get a lucky shot on a distracted hero.

[impervious]

So this means that critical hits are not reduced by toughness, invulnerability or impervious?

let's say, I have Hulk Veteran in his 8th click he does 5 clicks of damage, ok

I roll a 12 vs Darkseid who, in his first click, has impervious

How many clicks will he take?

4? (5+1 from critical - 2 from impervious) o 6 (5+1 and no reduced damage)

Does he get the chance to avoid this butt kicking with his impervious dodge?

[scowlingone]

He takes 4 and gets to roll for his Impervious.

A critical hit always hits. As the rule says: "it does not bypass powers like Super Senses and Impervious, nor does it ignore damage reduction/prevention super powers."

It's not that hard.

[Ramplate]

They get hit - damage is calculated normally

[Retsof]

All rolls are susceptible to Super Senses, 12 or not. All attacks on Toughness/ Invulnerability/ Impervious, except Psychic Blast, are reduced in damage.
