Critical Hit: Difference between revisions

** In''Player's Options: Combat & Tactics'' ("AD&D 2.5") added more complex critical hit rules: beating an opponent's AC by 4 or more meant at least double damage, and with the detailed damage option (introduced explicitly to avoid "[[Only a Flesh Wound]]" effect) added specific injuries if the target also fails an extra saving throw., Likesuch majoras bleeding—ordisabling a limb or major beheadingbleeding, depending on the weapon's size, type and severity roll. The''Player's Options: Spells & Magic'' applied the same forsystem to saving throws against spells failed by 4 or more (i.e. an acid arrow may melt onethe target's arm off) with area-affecting spells possibly injuring several locations—i.e. surviving a fireball may still mean that one's eyes and right leg are fried crispy. Which also expands [[Chunky Salsa Rule]], since highest-severity critical effects involve things like decapitation, "abdomen incinerated, immediate death", etc.
