How do criticals on opposed rolls work?

for example, Defender is opposing the attack with a weapon and rolls a critical to parry it. Does he get a critical hit on the attacker with damage and location based on their roll?

[u/Skrybowiedzma → u/PaladinMax]

The way I understand it, the Defender rolls for the Critical Wound then. It's not a hit, so you don't calculate wounds with SLs, weapon traits etc - the Attacker only gets the effect of the Critical Wound and wounds listed in the table.

For dodge tests, we have a hourserule that Critical gives +6 SL to normally calculated SLs, so that parrying isn't always better option than dodging.

[u/ArabesKAPE → u/PaladinMax]

He gets a crit on the attacker, the location needs to be rolled for as all crits are doubles so you can't use them to calculate the hit location. They only inflict damage if the crit causes wounds.
