[Feature Request] Custom Critical Success or Failure rules.

[Farmeroz]

Is it possible to call Roll Tables from OtF results such as critical hits/failures/etc.? (and to define the critical hit ranges in case of using 20+ skill levels increase crits, for example)? Much in the way that a Fright Check can call a Roll Table called Fright Check (I entered that all in last night and works a treat).

Ultimately, I'd like to have an OtF to check weapon skill, roll damage in case of a hit, and report a Critical Success or Failure as well (and same with spell casting crit failures) by calling the tables as part of the OtF and maybe that's already possible?

We can't do it with OtFs alone, but you can create a script macro:

GURPS.executeOTF('A:Rapier')
if (GURPS.lastTargetedRoll.isCritSuccess) {
  let tname = 'Critical Hit'
  let tables = game.tables.contents.filter(t => t.name.match(tname))
  if (tables.length == 1) {
    let table = tables[0]
    let r = await table.roll()
    table.draw(r)
  }
}

I am not certain how to can modify the roll, however.

Thanks, Chris - this is great. Is there a way to change the Critical threshold (to allow Crits on a 7 with effective skill 20+, 8 on 25+, etc. following any house rules)?

[crnormand]

At the moment, no. But if you open an issue, we might be able to create some thing in the future. For people who play with those kind of home rules.

[crnormand]

Actually, I guess we could leave this issue open, and just rename it.

[Farmeroz]

Sounds good - thanks :-)
