Critical Hits

In the Dragon Warriors rules a critical hit is scored on a d20 roll of "1" and automatically bypasses armour. Using these tables there is a chance of an additional effect with any critical hit.
If you roll a critical hit, re-roll the d20. A roll of 1-8 indicates an additional effect, refer to the table for the weapon in question and roll d100. The effects are explained in the tables themselves. A roll of 9-20 indicates no additional effect.
On the tables "he" refers to "he/she/it". "Character" refers to "character/monster/NPC"

Bashes

Instead of rolling on the tables above the attacker may elect to bash his opponent instead. In that case refer to the table below instead of the one for the attackers weapon.
