 * Scripts triggered by a critter's death do not fire upon "instant-death zero-damage criticals" (Pariah is one example). These can be prevented by also having the Living Anatomy perk which makes zero-damage attacks impossible. Allegedly, Bonus HtH Damage and Bonus Ranged Damage perks do the same.

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas
With this perk, the weapon's critical damage is increased by 50%.
