Critical Hits
Source
Core Rulebook pg. 278
2.0
When you make an attack and succeed with a natural 20 (the number on the die is 20), or if the result of your attack exceeds the target's AC by 10, you achieve a critical success (also known as a critical hit).
If you critically succeed at a Strike, your attack deals
double damage
. Other attacks, such as spell attack rolls and some uses of the
Athletics
skill, describe the specific effects that occur when their outcomes are critical successes.
