Crit Now Bypasses Withstand

I've posted a minor update to the Withstand effect by noting that critical damage ("Crit") cannot be Withstood. The effect now reads as follows:

Withstand

The affected character takes no damage from the next non-critical damaging attack(s) he or she receives, regardless of the amount of damage that they inflict. The character must declare "Withstood" after preventing damage in this way. The effect ends after a specific number of attacks have been prevented, as indicated by the action's tagline (e.g., Withstand 3 allows you to prevent the next three damaging attacks). Critical damage (i.e., damage with a "Crit" tagline) cannot be prevented, but does not count against the action's limit.

I am a fan of this.  it allows crit users to not be nerfed while making withstand usable for PCs as well.  Cant wait to see it implemented!

I can dig it, definitely makes sense and gives crit a smidgeon more utility.

YES! BAMBI IS USEFUL!

Shut up Bambi. 

Yeah, I was pretty stoked to read this. To the point that I reinvested in the crit action. This makes the action more PVE friendly.

Yep... this is almost enough to keep me rogue again.  Damn you Thad!  (probably still going savage)
