Critical hit

Occurance
Each weapon attack has an independent chance of dealing a critical hit. A higher weapon attribute increases this chance. Attacker and target levels are also factors. A few skills can cause or negate critical hits, as specified in their description.

Effects
Whenever a critical hit occurs, the maximum of the weapon's damage range is used rather than a random value in the interval. An additional factor is also added in the damage calculation which effectively multiplies the resulting damage by sqrt(2).
