[QUOTE="Sanglorian, post: 9285889, member: 83822"] [HEADING=2]Multiple attacks and scaling critical hits[/HEADING] [HEADING=2]Background[/HEADING] I would like to do without mooks, elites and bosses if possible, relying on the game mechanics to make higher and lower level monster encounters satisfying instead. Two design elements from PF2e - the ability to make an attack with any action and the way higher attack bonuses lead to more critical hits - may make this possible by effectively letting higher-level creatures make more attacks and do more damage on those attacks. Early tests suggest these rules work pretty well, although they probably need some changes to conditions to really shine. I'm interested to see what people make of them, since I know minions, elites and solos are often identified as some of the things people like most about 4E. [HEADING=2]Secondary Attack action[/HEADING] All creatures gain access to the Secondary Attack action, described below. [HEADING=3]Secondary Attack (swift action) [/HEADING] [HEADING=2]Critical hits [/HEADING] Instead of a critical hit occurring on a natural 20, a critical hit occurs any time an attack roll exceeds the target number by 10 or more.
