Can saving throw spells crit?

No, in official Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition rules (RAW), spells requiring a saving throw do not have critical hits or critical failures, unlike attack rolls; a natural 1 or 20 on a save is treated as a normal success or failure, though Dungeon Masters (DMs) often use house rules for criticals on saves, like a nat 1 causing double damage or a nat 20 negating effects, but these aren't standard.

Can you critical hit with spells?

Yes, spells can critically hit in many games like D&D and World of Warcraft, but it depends on the game's rules and the spell type; spells with an attack roll (like Fire Bolt) can crit by rolling a natural 20, doubling damage dice, while auto-hit spells (like Magic Missile) or saving throw spells typically don't crit in the same way but might have other bonus effects or increased effects. In RPGs, "spell crit" often means a chance for increased damage or healing, influenced by stats like Intelligence or Critical Strike Rating, distinct from weapon crits.

Are saving throws skill checks?

No, a saving throw is not an ability check, though they use the same core mechanic (d20 + modifier) and both involve ability scores; they are distinct actions in D&D 5e: ability checks are for active attempts (like climbing), while saving throws are for passive reactions to danger (like dodging a fireball). The key difference is how proficiency applies: you add proficiency to skills for checks, but to specific saving throws (Strength, Dex, Con, etc.) for saves, making them separate mechanics that don't always interact.

Rule Zero in D&D (and TTRPGs) is the unwritten, ultimate principle that the Dungeon Master (DM) is the final authority, able to change, bend, or ignore any official rule to ensure the game flows, stays fun, and serves the group's story.

Is CRIT DMG or crit rate better?

Neither crit rate nor crit damage is inherently "better"; they are a team, and you need a balance, but the common goal in games like Genshin Impact is roughly a 2:1 Crit DMG to Crit Rate ratio, aiming for ~50-60% Crit Rate first for consistency, then stacking Crit DMG for bigger hits, making Crit Rate generally more valuable early on until you hit that baseline. Crit Rate determines if you crit; Crit Damage determines how hard you hit when you do, so you need enough Rate to make Damage meaningful.
