====== Critical Injuries ======

----

When a critical hit is rolled in combat, it triggers a roll on the //Critical Injuries Table// to determine the effectiveness of the critical hit. Critical hits always deal double damage in addition to the effects determined by the table.

A roll on the //Critical Injury Table// is triggered by the following events:

   * A natural 20 on an attack roll, applying the critical injury to the attacked creature.
  * A natural 1 on a saving throw, applying the critical injury to the creature that failed the save.
  * Specific circumstances as determined by the GM.

===== Injury Types =====

Injuries are classified as either Minor or Major:

==== Minor Injuries : ====

Small injuries such as cuts, sprains, broken fingers, minor burns, etc.

==== Major Injuries : ====

Signifigant injuries such as deep gashes, broken bones, loss of limbs, major burns, etc.
