Alright i usually understand crits and everything to do with them, but i am having a problem based on what i have read on the Various FAQ's from the Holocron.
1. Does the extra damage from the Chagrian Mercenary commander work against droids if you roll a critical hit?
The Complete FAQ on the Holocron1.5 Same Question with RESILIENT.
MY thinking is that yes it works because at one point in the Faq it says it does, but at the Resilient Questions it asks if droid and resilient do the same thing. and it says that the Chagrian Mercenary Commander doesn't work with them.
ALso on the Same note since the FAQ says that droids are immune to the extra damage but it is still a critical hit, Does that mean that they can be Flurried by a character that can critical on a 19-20 or even 18-20( i know the definition of Flurry says a 20 still counts) ? And by the Same token, Would a character under the influence of Sidious's commander effect get the extra attack from him?
i Know these are complicated, and for those of you who dont want to go to the FAQ here is what is says word for word:
Resilient
Q: Is this immunity the same as for droids where it just prevents doubling of damage, or does it completely nullify the critical hit?
A: It nullifies the critical hit, but does not nullify the number rolled on the die. So damage would not be doubled, and something like the Chagrian Mercenary Commander's commander effect would not trigger, but Disintegration would still occur if a 20 was rolled.
Chagrian Mercenary Commander
Q: I'm not sure how to read the Chagrian Mercenary's commander effect. Does it apply for any follower? If I put him in a squad with Mace Windu or Darth Maul, those characters could deal immense damage with easier rolls for criticals (especially when Maul uses Sith Rage). Was this intended?
A: Yes, this is intentional. When a commander effect applies only to "ordinary" followers, it's qualified in some way. For example, some commander effects might benefit only non-Unique followers, while others might affect only followers without a Force rating. Some commander effects are relevant even when using very powerful characters.
Q: The Chagrian Mercenary Commander's commander effect grants +20 Damage on a critical hit. Is this bonus damage added before or after doubling?
A: Bonus damage is always added after doubling. See the glossary definition of critical hit in the rulebook for more details.
Q: If a character gets a critical hit against a Droid enemy, can he add the +20 Damage from the Chagrian Mercenary Commander's commander effect? It seems that the bonus wouldn't apply because Droids are immune to critical hits.
A: Although Droids are immune to critical hits, this means only that they take the base damage instead of double damage (before applying modifiers). The attack is still considered to be a critical hit, and therefore it gets the bonus damage from the commander effect.
