[QUOTE="Hawken, post: 4883921, member: 23619"] Here's a rule I've used in the past and its worked out fine: When a critical threat is rolled, the player makes a second roll to confirm. Result of confirmation roll: If confirmation roll misses: attack inflicts maximum damage. If confirmation roll hits: critical hit confirmed, roll for critical damage. If confirmation roll result is in the critical threat range: critical hit confirmed, make secondary confirmation roll. Result of secondary critical hit confirmation roll: If roll misses: critical hit still confirmed, roll critical damage. If roll hits: secondary critical confirmed, maximum critical damage. If roll result is a critical threat: secondary critical confirmed, make death roll. Result of death roll: If roll misses: maximum critical damage inflicted. If roll hits: Critical hit damage increased by additional multiplier. If roll result is in critical threat range: Target is killed. And yes, if enemies roll like this against the PCs, its used against them. I've never killed a PC in this manner but they have killed monsters this way and in one particular adventure a few years back, one of the new players in a game I was running killed the BBEG four rounds into the final battle by these rules. I was kind of disappointed, but also impressed and everyone else thought it was great! [/QUOTE]
