Crit feat only improves that to 18-20.  And there is (thankfully!!) no such thing as a Keen Lightsaber.I must've missed that part in the book... do you have a pg # to back up this wild claim?  I've been playing SWd20 (off and on) since it came out in 01.Yep, explains how the Emperor kills 3 out of 4 Jedi Masters during the 1st rnd of combat in Episode III... (come on, if you haven't seen it by now... you deserve the SPOILER!)...Considering that V/Wnd weapons do NOT do x3 or x4 dmg... and most Fighters (should IMO at least) strive to have a 16+ Con... one crit from a Great Axe isn't so bad.  Might wipe the party elf-wizard though <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />I think you're seriously over-stating things... unless of course your DM foolishly(!!) allows the D&D version of Imp-Crit...  Most SW weapons only crit on a 20 (or 19-20 with Imp Crit) and the ALMIGHTY lightsaber crits on a 19-20 or 18-20 (again with Imp Crit).  And I noticed you forgot to mention that (revised SWd20 book at least) armor gives DR vs Crit dmg...That said, I am semi-sympathetic with your plight. One of my long time friends and favorite DMs (some call him Talath) ran a short campaign last year (year before that?) that he called Tales of the Samurai.  It was done with the Generic Classes from UA, and with the V/Wnd system.  Anyways, during this rediculously tough fights vs the BBEG... the party bard-wanna-be Crits and slays the BBEG with some crappy club-music-instrument-thing... most ignoble death ever! Thats like a Bard walking up to (insert evil badass from your favorite setting here) and killing him with a lucky hit to the head with a fricking lute. Anyways...SWd20's biggest flaw isn't the Vit/Wnd system... its the classes.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
