When a creature rolls a natural 20 on an an attack roll, the attack is not only an automatic hit – it is also a ''critical hit'', and the attacker rolls twice the normal number of dice to determine damage dealt, including additional dice such as those from smites or combat manoeuvres. Modifiers and bonuses – including the creature's relevant ability score modifier and proficiency bonus – are not doubled. | When a creature rolls a natural 20 on an an attack roll, the attack is not only an automatic hit – it is also a ''critical hit'', and the attacker rolls twice the normal number of dice to determine damage dealt, including additional dice such as those from smites or combat manoeuvres.

Some [[feats]], [[Classes|class features]], and [[items]] [[Critical Hit threshold reduction|reduce]] the critical hit threshold by 1, allowing the creature to land critical hits by rolling 19 or higher on attack rolls. Multiple sources of this effect stack, allowing the critical hit threshold to go even lower than 19. | Some [[feats]], [[Classes|class features]], and [[items]] [[Critical Hit threshold reduction|reduce]] the critical hit threshold by 1, allowing the creature to land critical hits by rolling 19 or higher on attack rolls.
