is crit power (not chance) affected by luck? IE if i plan my build around silent death, do i need luck for max crit power?
thanks
No, crit power is affected by:
-better criticals (+20)
-silent death (+10)
-ennemi armor/helmet (-5 to -15)
-man of steel (-10)
-bonehead (-10 if headshot)
-armor bonus (up to -5)
-weapon bonus (up to +5)
-finesse (depends on ennemy armor/helmet but decrease damage alot, +2.5 on CA)
-RBTE (depends on ennemi helmet, +5 on CA helmet)
As beer said, your first shot will be critical no matter your luck but wont kill. You'll have to keep shooting or resneak, but if you resneak the guy will heal and you never have him. With high luck (9 or 10) you can still rape his ass after first shot. Aim your first shot in groin, it's autocrit so crit chance doesn't matter and you KO chance is higher in groin (cause most guys have bonehead), once you hit him aim head or eyes for max crit chance and damage.
