It seems hugely preferable to me to a situation where the PC faces 20 fighters and laughs in their face before cutting them to ribbons in almost perfect safety...All the classic heroes of fantasy literature that I can think of would treat those kind of numbers with respect at the very least.One easy solution to the problem you outline is to say that a 20 is an automatic crit *unless* you were otherwise unable to hit without a 20, in which case it is just an automatic hit.You could also reign in crit damage significantly by just multiplying weapon damage and not multiplying any of the extras from strength, magic, etc. That would still make them good, but would reign in some of the more horrible numbers.</blockquote>
