Critical Hit Tables

Whenever you score a critical hit on an attack, you may roll on a table pertaining to the damage type of the attack to deal an extra effect on top of the doubled damage dice. If the attack deals multiple damage types, you can choose which damage type's table to use.

A table result might call for a minor or major injury. Such injuries last until the injury is treated. A minor injury is treated by lesser restoration or similar magic, or by using the recuperate downtime activity. A major injury can only be treated by greater restoration or similar magic, unless it states otherwise.

Monster Crits

As a player being instantly killed by a lucky hit from a goblin is not very fun, DMs are advised to only use this rule for significant monsters like bosses, or not use them entirely for monsters.

Physical vs Magical Crits

You've probably noticed that the magical crit effects seem better than the physical crit effects. This is by design; physical crits are much more likely to occur, given the nature of weapons and features such as Extra Attack.
