Working on something, and it would work all the better if I could make a ranged weapon with a critical boost.  Does anyone know if the critical hits would occur when the user is using a ranged attack or only when they're using the melee attack?

I'm thinking you need to put the boost on the ammo, but it might be they've got a fixed crit. boost. I don't think so, but they might. I'm not sure.

I already often see legendary champion dwarves in adamantine plate mail get killed by a single arrow from a kobold bowman. Same goes for megabeasts and demons. I really don't feel ranged weapons need a buff--but if you feel otherwise more power to you.

They would only occur on the melee attacks. Anything you do to the crossbow will have no effect on ranged attacks other than the [RANGED...] token. Anything you do to the ammo will effect your ranged attacks, though.

Okay, I guess my question is now: Can the [CRIT_BOOST] token be applied to ammo?

Well, test it and find out.

That'll require labor, and you'll get bored of testing it on your test worlds and just wait for a person to tell you whether or not, it works.

It wouldn't take that long to test. All you would have to do is add the tag and then gen a world. If you then checked the error log files, it would tell you if it didn't recognize the token. If no message shows up, then it works.
