In an effort to make fights deadlier with the ever inflatable hit point pool, I've thought of imposing (stealing) a rule from the Westeros RPG system whereby every 5 above the required number reflects an additional success. So if the target AC is 17 and one manages to obtain a 22 on the roll (inclusive of bonuses), then the damage die of the weapon/spell is rolled a second time (like the standard rules for a natural 20). That would certainly increase the value of heavier armour when attempting to mitigate further damage from additional successes.  With spells saves (such as fireball), it would mean a failure of 5 or more, but I haven't yet sat down to think how armour would play a roll in that as yet.</blockquote>
