Brutal critical and savage attacks dont stack?

[OnlyOffensive]

I only roll one extra die of damage and additional crit die from brutal, meaning savage attacks die doesnt matter, is it so?

[Frenker]

Don't know...

But things like this is why i'm waiting for the game of the year edition... Rpgs nowadays have gazzilion combat bugs like this where things just don't work or half work. Owlcat devs are notoriously bad at this! Others not much better.

Im not sure its bug. I just dunno if it supposed to stack or no. So far i figured brutal critical replaces savage attacks, since its better

I found this online:

CRITICAL HITS

When you score a critical hit, you get to roll extra dice for the attack’s damage against the target. Roll all of the attack’s damage dice twice and add them together. Then add any relevant modifiers as normal. To speed up play, you can roll all the damage dice at once.

For example, if you score a critical hit with a dagger, roll 2d4 for the damage, rather than 1d4, and then add your relevant ability modifier. If the attack involves other damage dice, such as from the rogue’s Sneak Attack feature, you roll those dice twice as well.

Your table plays RAW. You get a crit, you roll twice as many dice. You don't multiply by 2 in 5e at all.

Savage Attacks: When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, you can roll one of the weapon’s damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.

This is not doubled. You add an extra 1d12.

Brutal Critical

Beginning at 9th level, you can roll one additional weapon damage die when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with a melee attack.

The same here.

Both are VERY specific. You just add the extra 1d12 (so 2d12) to the final total dice.

actually brutal critical adds extra critical die on top of extra damage die, so its better...not by much, so its not that amazing on half-orc as i thought itd be.


So wait, you saying 1d12 becomes 2d12, i guess its something. I definetely crit harder with brutal critical, but is it worth going past 8 lvl on barbarian idk

I really want to add champion, but 9/3 misses feat... could use feat that roll damage twice.

Well, you should be getting two extra dies that's all. if that doesn't happen it's a bug... wouldn't be surprised at all if it is
