Hey adventurers,
I have a question I couldn't figure out myself. In one of my DnD groups we have a special way to deal with crits (I don't totally agree with it but the DM is a good storyteller/writer, so it's acceptable):
1. There are no threats. A natural 20 is an instant crit, no confirmation roll needed.
2. Crit multipliers won't multiply bonuses, just dices. Normal damage: 1d12+9; Critdamage: 3d12+9 (Greataxe)
3. We us a table for crits (Natural 18/19/20 dependend on weapon) and fumbles (Natural 1). We roll a D12/D20 to see what injury occurs. Warblade uses a D20.

Now to my character: My Barbarian died today (due to a crit) and now i have to create a new character. I thought of a TWF-Warblade/Critfisher, but I don't know if it really works with our crit-system. The alternative would be a 'normal' Warblade with a spiked chain and a Greatsword, but the Greatsword is pretty close to my barb. I can't say with my small experience how the crit-table impacts the gameplay. Maybe you can enlight me.
Feel free to discuss it. Thanks in advance
Sincerely
