Minor is reduce crits by x1 and 1/2 damage on sneaks; lesser is -(x2) and 1/3; and greater is -(x3) and 1/4. Oozes and elementals are still immune to sneaks because of their lack of discernable anatomy.I like this. The rule I was thinking of using is that the first die of damage is automatically maxed, and you roll for the others, but this is much better - even if you don't confirm the crit, you deal max damage, so the crit AND the confirmation both mean something.I do a variant on this - I have different <a href="http://shtar.pbwiki.com/Misc%20Rules" target="_blank">death and dying rules</a>, so a death spell drops you to a negative score depending on level and makes it so you can't recover on your own.Someone in the House Rules came up with a new falling rule that dealt Con damage instead of hp damage. Unfortunately, it's fallen off the boards due to pruning (shame, too - he had a really good drowning variant that also dealt Con damage).</blockquote>
