I just picked up my deck yesterday and have only had time to flip through it breifly. I did notice that some of the effects are pretty harsh (sent to a random plane for example). If I read correctly the save DCs for any of the effects is whatever the confirmation roll was. Did I read that right? Doesn't that seem pretty high in a lot of cases? If that is the case has any house ruled a different save DC system?

This rule was made to keep the DCs relevant across most levels. If we had used a set DC.. say 20, it would be pretty hard at low levels, resulting in quite a few decapitations and next to none at high levels as the PCs Fort saves go through the roof.
That said, I am sure there are other means that you could use to come up with the DC and we made sure to make the deck as flexible as possible for you. If you want to change the DC, go right ahead... I won't tell anyone.

Yay! (I'm still waiting for my crit deck)
I hope this excellent line of reasoning applies to the fumble deck too!

No.. I am afraid not.
It is still in the very early stages of development and not even on our schedules yet. More news as it develops.Jason Bulmahn

I was thinking about replacing the DCs of non-spell critical hits with 10 + 1/2 HD + modifier of the ability score that was added to the attack bonus, Strength for most melee attacks and Dexterity for most ranged attacks. For spells the DC would be the DC of the spell.

That actually sounds pretty good. It scales with level and takes into accout PCs with high ability scores. I think I'll try that.
