Editing Savage Attacks

'''Savage Attacks''' is a passive feature available to [[Half-Orc]] characters. When they score a [[Critical Hit|critical hit]] with a melee [[Weapons|weapon]] attack, they can roll one of the weapon’s damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.

== Notes and Trivias ==
*The description of this racial trait in game (as of update v4.1.1) is very poorly worded. While it states that damage dice are "tripled", this is only true when rolling a single base dice (e.g. 1d6) that would gets doubled on a normal critical hit without this feature (2d6) or tripled on a critical hit with this feature applied (3d6). In every other case, the actual result is the doubling of whatever original damage dice applied, as for any normal critical hit, and then the addition of a single additional damage dice. {{Verify}}
**For example, a greatsword hit deals 2d6 base damage, gets normally upgraded to 4d6 (2x 2d6) damage with a normal critical hit, and gets upgraded to 5d6 (2x 2d6 + 1d6) with a critical hit using this feature. {{Verify}}

*This feature also adds one dice on critical hits performed using the [[paladin]] smite ability. This means that a critical hit with smite activated will get a total of two additional dice. This seems to be linked to the fact that the smite damage seems to be computed separately from the base attack. {{Verify}}
**Other sources of additional damage dice such as elemental enchantments on weapons, sneak attack dice, battle master superiority dice, are accounted for in the calculation of the original attack and do not cause this feature to add more damage dice like smite does. {{Verify}}

*This feature does not work at all with unarmed attacks or wildshape animal attacks. {{Verify}}

-* The combat log denotes the activation of this skill as [[Brutal Critical]] and not as Savage Attacks
-** Both Savage Attacks and [[Brutal Critical]] will activate on a critical hit
-* Weapons with multiple damage die will only gain one die of extra damage, not the full die.  For example, a great sword's normal critical hit does 4d6, and this skill will add 1d6 totaling 5d6, while a great axe's normal critical hit damage is 2d12 and this skill will add 1d12 totaling 3d12
