In combat, a Critical Attack is an attack that hits the target for higher than normal damage.
As of Beta 5, both melee and spell critical attacks cause a base damage of 150% of normal attack damage.[1]
Characters in Rift: Planes of Telara have two attributes that describe the chance of making a Critical Attack, Melee/Ranged Critical for physical attacks, and Spell Critical for magical attacks.
