'''Critical hits''' are special types of hits dealt to [[monster]]s (and other players in [[PVP]]). Critical hits can happen from any type of damage (weapon or spell), they deal bonus damage, and may trigger other special effects as well. Monsters that die from critical hits usually explode in an especially gruesome [[Death#Special_Death_Animations|death animation]], adding visual fun to the killing bonuses.
Critical hits deal 50% bonus damage in Diablo 3. The damage '''''and''''' the percent change of scoring a critical hit can both be increased by various skills and equipment. <ref> {{cite web | url = http://blues.incgamers.com/Posts/1/1/4/10/7462/deadly-strikecritical-strike#postId_20442 | title = Bashiok on Critical Hits | accessdate = 2010-08-24 | quote = We have Critical Strikes. When you crit it does 50% more damage. Your chance to crit and increase above the 50% are both variable with skills, items, etc.}}</ref>
==Critical Hit Terms==
In [[Diablo I]] critical hits are a hidden bonus for the [http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Warrior#Stats_and_Attributes Warrior] and [http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Barbarian_(Diablo_I)#Stats_and_Attributes Barbarian] characters. They gain a 1% chance to deal double damage with each Clvl they gain. At level 20 they deal double damage 20% of the time, at level 30 they do it 30% of the time, etc.
