[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8207797, member: 6987520"] I've been thinking about adding DR for armor on crits only if we decide to have damage go directly to CON, so I understand how it helps with your system. Our current critical hit rule is that instead of double damage, it allows you an extra attack. If you use that attack against the same creature, it is with advantage. If you get [I]another[/I] crit, the attacks just keep coming. Frankly, we've been using this rule for about 6 months and no one wants to return to double damage. We find this much more versatile and interesting and you never "waste" damage because the target you just critted only had 2 hp left. The down side is things like Smite and SA dice are used for each separate attack. I like this as a feature, not a bug, because I hated it when our Paladin in prior games rolled a crit and always maxed out the smite.... It helps keep things a bit more reigned in, so to say.
