Critical damage

[KageRyu]

I know it has been pretty well covered in this thread, and really was not about adding a Critical Hit mechanic to D6, but I wanted to share my thoughts of some test rules that were in development intended for publication before the whole project went bust:

Critical Hits
If an attack roll exceeds the difficulty by 2x or more, then +1D to roled damage for each multiple of the difficulty (3x is +2D, 4x is +3D, etc...)
For less crunchy you could change it to a 6 on the wild die for an attack getting a Bonus Die for every consecutive 6 rolled.*

*Both of these were tested in my D6 development group that ran 2005 through 2007 and both were well received and kept bonus damage rare but rewarding. I remember One specific instance using the Wild Die method where a lot of subsequent 6s were rolled and we added a note that Criticals should not be allowed to more than double the base weapon Die Code.

I think I found a simple definition for critical hits that should serve my purposes.

If a lightsaber roll exceeds the difficulty by 10 or more, the Jedi lands a critical hit, inflicting additional damage.
