[QUOTE="Spatzimaus, post: 401538, member: 3051"] I don't like the anti-Fortification part, just because it counters an existing enhancement. If the opponent doesn't have Fortification this part is useless. As for the immune to criticals part, that's because those creatures simply have no critical parts. You can't hit something vital if there's nothing to hit. It's a general benefit of those types, and is compensated for by their lower hit points. It doesn't make sense for an Ooze to take a vorpal hit, after all. Giving the possibility to have a critical hit just doesn't make sense for these types. The question is, why do you want to crit an undead? Multiplied base damage? Get Bane or Holy. Some critical-only weapon ability (burst, Vorpal, etc.)? Handle it on a more case-by-case basis; on the elemental ones you could say that it's still a critical roll (igniting the Burst ability) even though the base damage isn't multiplied. Maybe make a +1 weapon ability that gives that ability and increases the damage die by one size. [/QUOTE]
