Critical Hit

• If you succeed on an Attack Test, and you roll a 6 on your Wrath Die, you score a Critical Hit
• An attack that misses does not trigger a Critical Hit
• If you roll a Critical Hit but your total damage does not exceed the target’s Resilience, you still inflict the effects of the Critical Hit
• Critical Hits that don’t exceed the target’s Resilience inflict 1 Wound, but no other effects
• Roll a d66 and compare the result with the table
