Critical Hit

Related:

A critical hit occurs when a natural 20 is rolled on an attack roll (AR), or when the roll falls within the critical hit range. The chance to obtain a critical hit may increase with a character’s WIS (Wisdom).

When a critical hit occurs, the Game Master (GM) consults the critical hit table below to determine the additional effects of the attack. The table is usually kept by the GM, while the player performs the roll.
