Generate a critical hit for tabletop combat. Rolls the blow, the visible effect, the lasting consequence, the enemy reaction, and a mechanical effect that works in any system.
A critical hit generator for tabletop games. Roll it when an attack lands better than it should and extra damage is not enough on its own. Each result gives you the blow, what it looks like, what it costs the target afterwards, how they react, and a mechanical effect loose enough to use in any system. The mechanical effects avoid edition-specific wording, so they work in D&D, Pathfinder, and most other systems. Fantasy and sci-fi are both supported, with energy weapons and suit damage added when sci-fi is selected. Roll the die first, then roll here for what the hit does.
This generator creates: Blow, Visible Effect, Lasting Consequence, Enemy Reaction, Mechanical Effect.
