Here is the Slashing Chart as an example but I have provided the link to the originals that are on my google drive. Some rules I’ll be instituting to go along with these crit tables.ġ) Roll on these only when 2 20s appear on an attack with Advantage.Ģ) Roll standard crit damage first and then roll on the appropriate Crit table for an additional effect. Take a look and offer your suggestions/tweaks. Slashing, Piercing, Bludgeoning, Acid, Fire, Cold, Poison, Necrotic, Radiant, Lightning, Psychic, Thunder and Force. I’ve gone all out here and created a crit chart for every damage type listed in 5E. Crit charts are a familiar house-ruled mechanism for RPGs that I used extensively back in the 2E hey-days.

While I’m not quite ready to institute these crit rules into my 5th edition game, I’m certain I’ll eventually do so.
