New Term: Ghetto Critical Hit

[darjr]

Thats cool. I'll have to spread that one around here.

I thought a DM around here was saying 'Funeral Damage' when a player had a monster dead by only minimal damage but wanted to roll anyway. Turned out I only 'heard' it. He was just saying 'roll yer damage'.

So what would gamers in a ghetto call it?

Probably poser's crit.

One of the guys in my group coined the term "Ghetto Critical Hit."

If you roll maximum damage when you hit, it's a ghetto crit. This is especially true if you roll three or more dice and they are all maxed out.

Guys in my group have been using that recently, too..

I heard it at D&D Experience and started spreading around locally.

I'm already regretting it.

After reading this yesterday, I started using it at the game last night. Gave us a few laughs.

They just call it a regular crit. By contrast, they call what WE consider to be a regular crit a "super crit".

I just in general don't like it when "ghetto" is used in the positive sense much at all. The word makes me think of certain sections of town in the middle ages and certain "camps" during the Holocaust. Never really got into the whole slang reinvention of it.
