I didn't like those results either so I treated all misses (are hits) rolls
the same and made a 2nd 3d6 roll to see how hard they got hit by
mistake just as if you were rolling a normal attack.
They got normal damage unless you rolled the LOW critical hit numbers
again and you just ignored any other result (like misses). This just treats
everyone equally regarding the damage multipliers.
