In savage worlds you don't really crit so much as just get raises.
You roll one of the polies, and if it lands on its highest number, you roll it again.
It is not uncommon to roll the same dice several times in a row, and the lower the dice the more often it happens.
You only need to hit 4 to succeed, generally. Every 4 over that is a raise. You also don't really have health, you take wounds and if you take 3, you dead.
One raise might just be extra damage. But four raises.... Well, my psion might have sprouted psychic tentacles for a moment and literally ripped the foe in two.
It's a wonderful system.
Yeah there are some interesting and cool systems out there. I like how Fragged Empire does it too where you roll d6s and you can use die that land on a six to trigger certain abilities and stuff.
