I'm not sure what games have defenders roll where a 10 is a questionable result. Such games exist. But I think it's more likely the title was written by someone who's heard dnd terms and doesn't really play the game. It's got a "how do you do, fellow kids" feeling. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 1 year ago* (1 child) GURPS, for one, depending on how the numbers measure up. D&d 3.5, if the crit range is broader than just a 20. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago I don't think D&D 3e has the defender roll to dodge. There's only second roll from the attacker to check if it does extra damage or is a regular hit. Fate also has the defender roll, but it doesn't have a concept of a "critical strike". permalink fedilink source parent
