Bludgeoning is Less Lethal; Piercing and Slashing are More Lethal[edit]

When a critical hit occurs with a bludgeoning weapon, the damage from resulting extra dice is nonlethal damage, even when the attack is otherwise lethal.
When a critical hit occurs with a piercing or slashing weapon, the damage from resulting extra dice is hit point damage, even when the attack is otherwise nonlethal.
