In Epic Path, a Multiplier is any effect which takes the result of a die roll (often a damage roll) and then multiplies it by some amount. Probably the most common example of a Multiplier is the [[Critical Multiplier]], which ranges from 2x to x4 in most cases. Probably the second most common multiplier is cases of Vulnerable and Defenseless. | In Epic Path, a Multiplier is any effect which takes the result of a die roll (often a damage roll) and then multiplies it by some amount.

As an example, suppose a player is using a weapon with an x4 critical multiplier, made of bladesilver, and they land a critical hit against a monster which is Defenseless against Silver, meaning they take double damage from bladesilver attacks. | As an example, suppose a player is using a weapon with an x4 critical multiplier, made of bladesilver, and they land a critical hit against a monster which is Defenseless against Silver, meaning they take double damage from bladesilver attacks. | ||
