[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 1880335, member: 9990"] I got something that I'd like to try out, based on how well the 'to hit' roll went. The problem I run into is it has to be easy to use to keep the game moving. I think we'll try the second hit roll to confirm becomes the amount of damage added to the target. Example - Varekai strikes at a dragon (AC=22) and rolls a natural 20. He rolls again to confirm, and gets a 19, but with pluses that ends up being a 29, confirming the critical hit. The additional damage applied (on top of rolling twice) becomes 29 - 22 = +7. It works better than looking things up in charts and requires only 1 roll - the same critical confirmation roll, and doesn't have to be an extra two or three rolls of the dice. This method slightly lessens the Power Attack method of fighting, as it rewards those with the higher to-hit stats instead of damage for critical hits. Though with Power Attack the damage applies whether or not a critical hit is made, and is still up to the player to decide. [/QUOTE]
