[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 33848, member: 317"] Hi, just wanted to let you know we used the critical effect tables this weekend in our weekend-long gaming marathon (26+ hours of gaming!!!) and scored several critical effects. The elf pinned an orc to a tree with a critical effect, the dwarven PC had his throat slashed with a serious effect- going unconscious immediately, and shortly before getting his throat slashed the dwarven player made a critical called shot to the groin of a troll with a warhammer that ended up breaking the troll's pelvis!! :O Anyway, the players loved the critical effect tables. They enjoyed the added realism and risk in combat, as well as the possibility of even high level heroes (or villians) being taken down by a lucky shot. We are playing a Middle Earth campaign right now, and these critical tables seem to capture the feel of combat well (not just from the movies, but the books as well). I wouldn't hesitate to introduce these rules into any game out there. Nice work DNDChick!! [/QUOTE]
