If you hit with a natural 20 or scored at least 5 over what you needed to hit, you got to roll on the crit tables. You could add +5% for every point by which you exceeded the target's AC. Wearing armor would reduce the severity of any crits against your character. You subtracted 5% for every step of AC you had better than 10. So wearing plate mail (AC 3) allowed you to subtract 35% from the enemy's crit roll.I don't remember what he allowed for specific repair of crit damage. Cure wounds spells might have been directly dumpable into crit repair for some effects.I don't recall the body count being that much higher than any other AD&D game I played despite the use of those tables - but I seem to recall more odd permanent scarring.</blockquote>
