The recent table of crit reduction got me sort of inspired. I like to introduce some variability. So I took the previous idea and just modified it so that the main crit would be the correct one about 60% of the time. I also used d100 (not open-ended). The "MORE" row is if you're feeling generous and to balance the NONE result. I'm going to try MORE out as E+A.

For what it's worth...

                     Crit from Attack Table
             A         B         C         D         E

NONE     01 -- 17  01 -- 04  01 -- 01     --        --
A        18 -- 77  05 -- 19  02 -- 05  01 -- 01     --
B        78 -- 94  20 -- 80  06 -- 20  02 -- 05  01 -- 01
C        95 -- 99  81 -- 95  21 -- 80  06 -- 20  02 -- 06
D        00 -- 00  96 -- 99  81 -- 95  21 -- 81  07 -- 23
E           --     00 -- 00  96 -- 99  82 -- 96  24 -- 83
MORE        --        --     00 -- 00  97 -- 00  84 -- 00
