Introduction[]

This article contains the critical hit tables that are stored in the Fallout 1/2 executable. Each critter type has its own set of critical hit effects. There are nine sets of six criticals, corresponding to the hit locations in combat.msg (head, left arm, right arm, torso, right leg, left leg, eyes, groin, and uncalled, in that order). However, the 'uncalled' tables are not actually used; unaimed shots use the torso criticals. Presumably it was originally intended to have different effects, making an aimed torso shot useful. The uncalled tables are (almost) identical to the torso ones, and so are not listed here.

Each critical consists of seven four-byte fields. Note that they are stored in little-endian format, so -3 is written as 0xFDFFFFFF and 5002 (0x138A) as 0x8A130000. (The Mac version is big-endian.) The fields are as follows:

Damage multiplier

This is divided by 2, so a value of 3 does 1.5x damage, and 8 does 4x damage.

Effects

This is a flag bit field controlling what effects the critical causes.


0x01000000 - knockout
0x02000000 - knockdown
0x04000000 - crippled left leg
0x08000000 - crippled right leg
0x10000000 - crippled left arm
0x20000000 - crippled right arm
0x40000000 - blinded
0x80000000 - death
0x00040000 - on fire - triggers the 'flamedance' animation, but not if the hit is fatal (probably a bug)
0x00080000 - bypass armor
0x00400000 - dropped weapon (doesn't work)
0x00800000 - lose next turn
0x00002000 - random

The 'random' effect is used by robots for their "massive malfunction" critical, and causes one of a variety of results. Known outcomes include: crippling any single limb; crippling both legs; crippling both legs and an arm; knockdown and crippling a limb; and losing ammo.

Stat check

This makes a check against a (SPECIAL) stat. Values of 2 (endurance), 5 (agility), and 6 (luck) are used, but other stats will probably work as well. A value of -1 indicates that no check is to be made.

Check modifier

Affects the outcome of the stat check, if one is made. Positive values make it easier to pass the check, and negative ones make it harder.

Failure effect

Another bit field, using the same values as field #2. If the stat check is failed, these are applied in addition to the earlier ones.

Message

The message to show when this critical occurs, taken from combat.msg .

Failure message

Shown instead of #6 if the stat check is failed.

There are several errors in the tables, which are noted. They could be fixed by patching the executable directly, or possibly with a future version of sfall.

The critical hits are chosen by rolling a random number in the range [1, 100], adding 20 if the player has the Better Criticals perk (technically, the crit table modifier stat, which Better Criticals adds 20 to, so other critters can have modifiers), and subtracting 30 if the player has the Heavy Handed trait. The result is looked up in the following table:


<= 20  : effect 1
21-45  : effect 2
46-70  : effect 3
71-90  : effect 4
91-100 : effect 5
> 100  : effect 6

With Heavy Handed, only the first three criticals are possible; adding Better Criticals lets the first four occur – still worse than having neither.

† The game has a value of 0 here instead of -1, so it makes a St check; there are no additional effects if failed, but it produces the message "and really hurts."

These are in fact the same as the tables listed in the Fallout Bible for the PnP game.
