Weapon Based Critical Chances for Foe Type[edit]
Immunity to critical hits is a common problem for martial classes. This variant rule aims to add some realism and a needed buff for martial classes. When attacking certain types of creatures made of certain materials, your weapon type will play a role if you can critical it or not. Some enemies can only be hit with criticals if you bring the right weapon, so one enemy may be weak to piercing while others are weak to bludgeoning weapons. These are to provide a general reference for people to use.
