# of Autofire hits on a roll of 3?

[Velocinox]

If someone with an autofire attack rolls a 3 on the initial roll to hit, do all shots automatically hit?

 

Thanks for the previous answer and TIA for this one.

Good question. I'm surprised it hasn't come up before, but I guess rolls of 3 are only a 1 in 216 chance, after all.

 

If a character making an Autofire attack rolls a 3, ordinarily the number of hits is calculated normally — all the attacks do not automatically hit. (Though in many cases a 3 will mean that all the attacks hit anyway.) However, the GM could certainly allow an extra hit or two (if available), a small damage increase, or some other benefit to represent the critical hit.
