A '''critical table''' is a table that lists all the possible critical damage messages seen when an attack is made. Most often, these critical messages are seen when an attack is made with a weapon, which usually deals damage in the types of [[Slash|slashing]], [[Crush|crushing]], or [[Puncture (critical table)|puncturing]]. Elemental attacks such as [[Bolt spell|bolt spells]] also have their own critical tables based on the type of bolt used, which include the elements of [[Fire Critical Table|fire]], [[Cold Critical Table|ice/cold]], [[impact/earth/vibration]], [[acid]], [[air/vacuum/void]] and [[Lightning Critical Table|lightning]], in addition to other critical tables such as [[unbalance (critical table)|unbalance]], [[disintegrate]], [[disruption]] and [[noncorporeal]].

A critical table is a table that lists all the injury (including death) messaging for a specific damage type. The table is divided into thirteen body locations and each body location is further sub-divided into ten critical ranks (0 to 9). In addition to the critical rank messaging, the table will often include hit point damage, status effects (stuns, knockdowns, limb loss) and injury ranks (levels 1, 2 and 3) associated with a particular crit rank/body location.


Example of critical table taken from the crush damage type

Legend:

  • A - Amputation (limb loss)
  • F - Fatal (instant death critical)
  • K - Knockdown
  • R - Injury level (rank 1, 2 or 3)
  • S - Stun w/number of rounds
  • x - Unknown stun round
