And would also add the cinematic and real world stab in the back by a trusted associate.  A dagger stab between the collar bones should take almost any human down.It sounds similar to what I do.  In addition to "HP", player's get Critical Damage Point (CDP).  CDP are basically CON/3 +1, with maybe another +1 here or there based on class, species, etc.  CDP don't go up with level and are very hard to increase but might add in a feat to do increase.  Critcal hits can damage directly CDP (when CDP=0 dead or dying) or inflict multiples of damage.Similar to what you propose, the chance to even get a critical hit is not a straight %, but is related to how well you can hit.  This is similar to your idea about rolling over by a margin of 20.  If I understand what you propose, low level creature don't have the same critical hit chance as a high level creature, thus removing the dreaded critical hits really favoring the monsters problem.  I think that is a good thing.Wow, sounding even more like what I do.  Armor as DR, being harder to hit based on level basically.I don't have criticals bypass armor DR.  Instead you have the following options if you get a critical hit: (1) apply damage to CDP; (2) choose location of hit but do normal damage agasinst HP(very good if they have an unarmored portion); (3) have attack do x2 damage but against HP; and at GM discretion (4) follow through attack, if the attack kills the first opponent and there is a second right near by, extra damage applied to second target.</blockquote>
