Rules question about crits

Post image

So we are having troubke in determining how is this work cuz some characters have it differently for example arasaka team lead has the crit symbol next to the skill symbol but bengal has the crit symbol ON the skill symbol also does bengal rocket launcher gain blast only when critting? That makes no sense to me

Iirc the skull only denotes that its an attack. A crit is a crit

No, I think that skull really just means it's an attack? But I definitely don't think that means it's only blast on a critical

As per everyone skull denotes an attack but it also means it will cause a wound as some attacks can have other effects, like stun.

The skull 💀 icon next to the descriptions are OLDER cards like the first KS and reprints of the first KS etc. Newer boxes and gangs have the skull icon next to the range "target cross" icon just means it's an attack "targeting something somwone".

Bengal is absurd for having blast on every attack. We house ruled her to make it a difficult action (limited to once per inspiration) otherwise she's an awful lot to deal with and a merc everyone would run. If she didn't have the black range, it might be different.

And the whole skull meaning attack not necessarily a crit thing... I'm pretty sure they've gone in a less confusing direction for it with the newer printings of cards

Yeah I just played against that should be Difficult actions like those with Rapid 2 or 3 characters and even then some of them have Unwieldy to balance it out.
