If the rule means that a Rogue with a dagger can knock someone down 1 in 4 hits instead of 1 in 20, that could have a big impact on the effectiveness of the Rogue compared to other classes, which could really affect the balance. We have a house rule similar to your initial mistake where if you max your damage and roll a crit you get to roll again and add (and roll again and add if this is max - ie: an open test). In reality this has only a minor effect on combat because it happens so rarely, but the theory that you can take out any sized solo with a single hit appeals to us.</blockquote>
