    1) The document classifies critical hits from weapons according to damage type, including blunt weapons, cutting weapons, and piercing weapons. 2) For blunt weapons, critical hits can result in head trauma, broken bones, internal damage, or broken ribs. Hard armor provides some protection. 3) Critical hits from cutting weapons are determined similarly, but can also cause serious bleeding. 4) Piercing weapons present risks of eye gouging, fatal blows, or pierced organs leading to slow death. Hard armor again provides some protection.

    Original Description:

    d6 tables for critical hits (in OSR-type games, for example) classified according to three weapon damage types.
