The critical dice can be read for auto/critical success and failure just as in a 3d roll. For example, an 18 is a spell backfire, a 3 is a triple success.

The chance of automatic failure increases with the number of dice rolled according to the rule of 19, if the total on the critical dice + the number of dice rolled >= 19, automatic FAILURE

This works out virtually identical to the table on TFT p9, but it's much easier to interpret critical success and failure (and no table required).

This is brilliant. I love that there is no table to look up.
