When a creature rolls a 20 on an attack roll it scores a critical hit which doubles the damage as usual. Afterwards the creatures must roll a confirmation die. It adds all modifiers equivalent to those used on the attack roll that triggered the confirmation die. If the confirmation die exceeds the targets AC, it confirms the critical hit dealing the maximum amount of damage that a regular attack would make.
If the confirmation fails the critical hit is applied as normal, dealing double damage.
Additionally, if the confirmation dice natural value is 20, the critical hit "explodes" causing your damage die to be thrown at advantage or deal atleast the maximum amount of damage that a regular attack would make.
Finally nd triggering another confirmation die to determine that damage dice outcome like previously stated. If that confirmation die is also a natural 20 the target is automatically killed.
Creatures with Paragon Level instantly lose one of their hitpoint pools instead.
