While this works best with Paizo's Pathfinder system, any Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition or d20-compatible game can benefit from this deck. The deck replaces normal critical damage with randomly drawn cards. Each card details four possible special criticals, one for each type of damage (slashing, bludgeoning, piercing, magic). These special criticals give combat more flavor and are slightly more powerful than standard critical hits on average.The only thing to keep in mind is that Pathfinder Society games are not allowed to use these cards, but if you're running an Adventure Path, non-PFS-module or homebrew game, they're a GM option that I would highly recommend.For that matter, if you're running a home PFS game, no one's going to complain if you include these cards, anyway. It's just public games that are likely to be a problem.

Sure it's all fun and games until your party member loses both eyes!The cards feature epic injuries, sure to fell many beasts in battle.They are divided into 4 subsets and magic users are not left out. Critical acid splash!In our most recent game, our GM blinded our party member with an epic swing of the young dragon's claws after the party member made him reroll with a different die. Luckily the cost for blindness/deafness is fairly low so it looks like he may recover by our next adventure.After playing 3+ games with these, our group highly recommends!We also use the fumble cards which have sped up our game. Often heard is "Ohhh... Confirm the fumble!"We recently got the apps too which has some fun sound effects.

This was an awesome product for any D&D player. The randomizing of critical hit effects and drawing and exchanging of cards added to the aspect of the game and greatly enhanced the fun of the natural 20.

Like their Critical Fumble Deck, Paizo's Critical Hit Deck is a fun addition to a home game among friends. I use the rule of letting my players choose to either draw a card or do what their weapon already does. This is where the deck shines - the level 5 Barbarian with a +1 Vicious Greatsword would 9 times out of 10 prefer to just do his weapon's regular crit effect than draw a card, whereas the Wizard doing a ranged touch attack for Ray of Frost will enjoy the chance of his enemy being transported to a different plane or something. Lots of fun and adds major danger if you also let your bad guys use them.Negatives: The cards get pretty repetitive or do really random, hard to picture things. They probably could have made it 30 cards instead of 52 and it be just as good.

Works fairly well keeps the game a little more suspenseful then before.although I do find myself not relying on the cards too often seeing how you could have planned out an epic battle and all of a sudden decapitation appears.

Very great cards for your roleplaying sessions!!! Only thing is the card box it comes in is not the greatest. You will probably rip the card box more and more as you take your cards out and put them away. Also I may suggest clear sleeves to help keep your cards in good condition but you won't be able to put them back in their original box if you do.

Make critical hits far more interesting and exciting. Note that, just like the critical miss deck there will be some complaining by the recipients of critical hits when using this deck (but many people complain when they get critically hit anyway). These make combat more memorable and engaging. Critical hits occur often enough that this doesn't seem like a superfluous piece of gaming equipment, but not so much that the cards seem stale. I highly recommend purchasing and using this product.

It is great to add a bit of extra flavor when a 20 is rolled. Everyone in loves the things that happen though I have a few that like to roll their damage if its a x4 weapon. SO those few will not draw from the deck.
