Are there any vacuum crit tables anywhere?
« on: November 27, 2023, 12:40:36 PM »
In the elemental companion, there are expanded rules on elementals and elements, they show that Air elementals do Vacuum crits (see attachment p.103), but I don't see a table for that. Does it exist or should I just use impact?

Are you looking at Fire and Ice for RMFRP, or the Elemental Companion for RM2? I don't see anything about vacuum on page 103 of the former.

Ok, you're looking at the RM2 book. Vacuum criticals are in RoCo 6. If you don't have it, impact is the most sensible replacement.

RoCo 3 has plasma, acid, physical alteration, depression, stress, shock, disruption. RoCo 4 has disintegration, essence, neuro, shrapnel, starvation/dehydration, stun, vibration.

RM2 has a vacuum crit table and it's one of the "fun" ones.  Second favorite to Vibration crit table.  RM-VI pg 125 is Vacuum Critical Strike Table.

If you have SM2, then Vacuum critical chart is in the handout with columns A-E. In SM1 Tech Law, its on page 66, but its only one column.

Arms Companion for Tearing/Ripping criticals.

Another “fun” one that will elicit Kill Bill and John Wick vibes for the results from that table.

Use with caution, however, as most of those on the receiving end need surgery to fix due to sheer volume of mLs lost per round!!!

Not completely relevant but I found this page a while ago:

https://www.icewebring.com/articles-and-indexes/rolemaster-attack-table-index/critical-table-index/

It states in which book which table can be found.
