I love Warhammer FRP. I really dig the idea of their critical hit charts. Problem is they're too "charty"--they cover too many pages and I remember getting the same results over and over. So I created my own chart, to be included in future versions of Deathbringer. Who knows? This may even be a DungeonCraft episode.

Use these when a PLAYER attacks a humanoid monster. BTW--if I haven't responded to your IMs that's because I'm busy doing this, just wrote, shot, and edited SIX episodes and I have a lot of personal stuff to attend to. Stay patient. I'll get back to you on Saturday.

Enjoy!

You know, I've thought about removing hit points from D&D all together and using a damage chart with players using the damage dice as the die that they roll on the table. D4 weapons would do pretty minor damage slashing, but could do serious damage thrusting, D6 doing pretty average damage, and D8+ doing serious damage. The players roll on the chart, maybe reduce the roll based on armor, and the result could be anything from a flesh wound (slows you a bit, maybe a penalty to skill/attack rolls) to instant kills (maybe small creatures like goblins give the attacker a bonus on the damage chart or maybe increase the die type (?)). Then players just track wounds and their effects and cure spells could cure one or more of these wounds. A table like that could make D&D very brutal indeed.

Boot Hill (TSR's 3rd RPG) had a system that used hit location and wound levels. It also used Hit Points but they were limited to the player character's Strength score. From what I can tell, it was a very deadly game. The skirmish game Confrontation had a wound system without Hit Points. It had a very simple and unique? method for determining hit location and wounds in a single die roll. It was great fun!
