Playing an assassin with that crit rule and being able to deal 8d6x2+48 functionally once a combat feels a little broken. And a paladin that crits is dealing plus 70 damage for two seconds level spell slots with divine+branding smite. That's potentially what 210 damage?

2024-04-21 09:58:21 +0000 UTCI use two variant crit rules in a couple of games I run. In one of them when someone gets a crit they get max on the initial die and roll to add to it. In another game we double the damage die and they explode on a max roll. Both are very fun and take away the sting of getting a crit and rolling super low.

2024-02-06 22:23:40 +0000 UTCIf there's anything we all learned from Breath of the Wild it's that a) you can absolutely find a random sword in the swamp while pursuing other interests and b) that sword will be rusty and nasty and break within a day. This DM screwed themself into giving the player a nicer quality weapon.

2024-01-26 00:57:17 +0000 UTCSee, my DM does a rule where a nat 20 is max on the first damage roll and then whatever you roll as the second dice roll. So if it's a 2d6 damage attack, you get 12 plus whatever you roll. So it could be 24 if that second roll is also a 12, so it isn't too crazy until you stack on all the extra stuff you can add at higher levels. So far everyone at the table has loved the rule. Even for a character that doesn't do as much damage as the barbarian does, it's still exciting to get that extra little boost from the rule. And with spells like silvery barbs, you can take crits away from an NPC, and there's other ways to impose disadvantage. That being said though, if the whole table isn't enthusiastically for a homebrew, don't force it on them.
