GameMastery Critical Hit Deck (3.5/PFRPG)

whats the deal with firearms (things that do 2 types of damage at once?)

My house rule is if the damage type is listed as "X or Y", the player has to choose one before the effect is revealed. If the damage type is "X and Y", the player gets to read both effects before choosing one.

That sounds reasonable thanks for the response!

When using this deck, how do you account for energy damage, such as alchemist's fire? It's not a spell effect, and it doesn't correspond to any of the damage types...

Technically it wouldn't be something to use with the deck then. However, you can still come up with something. The bombs could be seen as bludgeoning or slashing for the purpose of the deck. You could also use the magic critical hits if you want and just redraw for the effects that are inappropriate. Just looking through, there are several that would be just fine for bombs.

I just started using the GameMastery Critical Hit Deck and GameMastery Critical Fumble Deck cards in my Pathfinder Dragon Age game and we are having fun with them (a player got a critical hit that slowed the charging Darkspawn Ogre by half for 3 rounds, that saved them from a TPK!).

However, the instructions/rules on both sets of cards are too tiny to read for most of us. Is there a way to get that information is a larger text format? :)

Thanks!

Click the rules cards pictured above.

I don't know if this will be answered, but think that there could be a PDF version of this, so I can print it on special paper and such?

We don't offer PDFs of our card products.

Today, in my Wrath of the Righteous game, the warpriest got an ear sliced off and became Len Half-ear, and the bloodrager ended up a pinky short and became Ruarc Ninefingers, all thanks to the Critical Hit Deck.

Thanks, Critical Hit Deck!

I noticed that the bleed definition on the rules card says to apply the damage at the end of the affected character's turn, but the bleed condition in the Pathfinder rules says to apply it at the beginning of the turn. Is this a misprint on the card, or was this intended to work differently than the normal bleed condition?

This product was originally designed for 3.5, where "bleed" didn't exist; when we added bleed to the RPG, we changed the timing on it (relative to this product). And when we updated this product for PFRPG, we didn't change its rule about when the bleed occurs, meaning bleed from these effects technically fires off at a different time than other things that cause bleed in the RPG. As several print runs of these cards work that way, we're unlikely to change it anytime soon. But if that bugs you, feel free to apply the bleed from these effects at the start of the turn instead.

Hi, I have heard a lot about these cards, good an bad for the next reason: do you use them also with the enemies, are they allow to draw tme aswell, let say, just the bosses not the henchmen type, the typical goblin, but instead a Warchief Goblin... or on the other hand, if combined with the Critical Fumble Deck, then just the PC's will use both decks, but not the enemies... How is the way you use them?

Tazera, you might want to have a close look at the second card image, which gives you some guidelines for GM use.

But what is your experience as Masters and Players? Did you enjoy them?

Is there any plan to do a reprint of this deck?

Goodness no, this is obsolete for them.
