Hello fellow DMs
So I created a crit deck for my players. The purpose of this is to add something special/exotic to crit successes. The system works in that if the roll a nat20 on an attack roll, they draw a card from the crit deck and read the result that corresponds with what damage type they are doing. So each crit card has 4 categories on it. Bludgeoning/Piercing/Slashing/Magical(catch all for anything that isnt the other 3). The player reads the effect and then we apply it the game. The effect on the card is added to the standard double damage. My players really seem to enjoy this system and get even more pumped up when they crit during combat. The system and its results are for 5e but should be easily tweaked to fit another system. Below is a link to my crit deck google doc, and a link to a blank version you could use as a template. Hope you get some use out of this, and I am open to feedback on my own card ideas.
