Alternate Critical Table

Gudiomen · 02-11-2009, 04:17 PM

For me "instant death" is out of the question, my players would skin me alive if an NPC rolled that and killed them just like that. Can't say I'd blame them, I'd skin my GM too if he did that. GURPS omits "instant death" effects for very sound reasons, and I have no intention of overruling that.

Anyway, I've decided to separate "9" from the 9-11 "normal damage" bracket. Since it's slightly rarer than 10 or 11, I'll make it something slightly better than normal damage.

9: basic damage +2 (+1 per dice), if the character already AoA (Strong) or used Extra Effort (extra damage) this turn, the enemy is instead automatically stunned.

I still need to figure out something more colorful for 10 and 11.
