Critical Hits...Yeah for the umpteenth time.

<t>I was thinking about a critical hit system where on a roll of natural 20, a character does regular rolled damage but forces the opposing character to make a Physical/Con save vs. (18/12 + damage caused). If failed the creature is dazed in pain and looses it's next action.<br/> <br/> I was basical...

Another idea that would be cool IMHO, is a special edition that combines the PHB and Monsters and Treasures into one book. I would be all over this one in a minute, especially if it was a limited and numbered run.

Someone on another board suggested(since they technically don't exist in C&C) letting a Ftr score an auto-max damage critical on a natural 20 in place of Combat Dominance/ or even with it. What do you guys think?
