Action as a result of a critical miss

GreenerGreener Member Posts: 430
I notice that it is possible to trigger and action (cast spell) in the event of a critical miss. Is it possible to trigger an action based on an enemies critical miss?

For example if an enemy misses (critically) could that trigger a spell to give the target (PC or NPCs) a bonus APR for one round? Like a counter attack.

    Afaiu, the opcode that governs this behavior only targets the attacker:
    #361 (0x361) Cast spell on critical miss
    Parameter #1: Unused
    Parameter #2: Use
    Parameter #3: Weapon Category
    Special: Weapon Type
    Description:
    Applies the spell specified by the resource key when the target suffers a critical miss. The target of the critical miss effect is the attacker.
    Known values for 'Use' are:
    0 - Apply Critical Miss chance for both hands
    1 - Apply Critical Miss chance only for this weapon

    Known values for 'Weapon Type' are:
    0 All Weapons
    1 Melee Weapon only
    2 Ranged Weapon only
    So it looks like you could take an attack away from them, or institute an ac penalty, but not grant an extra attack
