An obvious simplification therefore is to remove the critical effect roll completely and it just be a critical hit (opponent can't dodge etc) or a critical miss (weapon gets tangled if a flail etc).
The Combat Lite chapter in Characters does this, with the addition that a 3 on the dice also does maximum damage.
