critical hit damage suggestion request

Hello all! As the GM for my group of seven people that have been in a campaign I created, I am looking for a better way to implement extra damage whenever a critical hit is rolled up. I and my group find the double damage rule within 5e to be a little bit uninteresting. To that end, I began to implement exploding dice that would add to the normal damage rolled up.  Something like [[1d8 + 1d2!]] for the damage from a critical hit with a d8 weapon.  This has lead to either more uninteresting results, or such fantastic damage that certain death is created for the receiver.  I would love to see an api program that rolled percentile dice and would cause double damage for 0-50, triple for 51-75, quad damage for 76-95, etc.  If my programing skills were up to the task, I would write this myself... Any suggestions? Thank you.

Table Items: Name Weight 2 50 3 25 4 20 5 5 Critical damage: [[ (1d8 + 1d2!) * 1t[new-table] ]]

Thank you Silvyre! This is exactly what I am looking for.  Would you be able to show me how to set up the table? My attempts thus far have been less then effective... Lol

Sure! Here's the Roll20 Wiki's documentation on Rollable Tables: Rollable Tables Starting a Rollable Table Editing your Rollable Table Using your Rollable Table I also found this YouTube tutorial for Rollable Tables! If you have any specific questions about the set-up, definitely let me know.

Thank you Silvyre! The above helped a LOT.

Great to hear! Happy rolling!
