I've been thinking about Crit tables myself (because I like 'em) and like the OP, I have been wondering whether Conditions aren't the way to go (for both hits and fumbles). It seems like a pretty natural narrative fit, but I *am* a little worried about tracking them.I was thinking that you'd roll d20 and treat it a bit like a saving throw: For fumbles 10+ is just a auto-miss, while 1-9 have a condition attached; for hits it's reversed, 1-9 is max damage, 10+ adds a condition. I was also considering that rolling 20 for a fumble reversed the fumble into a hit (you fumble, but it works out OK).Something similar to this (I imagine effects generally last one round):Critical Miss table (roll d20):1 - Attacker hits self or ally (reduced damage, probably).2 - Attacker is Prone.3 - Attacker drops weapon / weapon breaks.4 - Attacker is Blinded.5-7 - Attacker grants CA.8 - Attacker is Weakened.9 - Attacker is Deafened.10-19 - No extra effect.20 - Attacker stumbles, but hits anyway (reduced damage, probably).Critical Hit table (roll d20):1-9 - No extra effect.10 - Target is Deafened.11 - Target is Weakened.12-16 - Target grants CA. 17 - Target is Blinded.18 - Target drops weapon / weapon breaks.19 - Target is Prone.20 - Attacker gets an extra Standard Action.</blockquote>
