I don't see anything in Arms Law stating what the various criticals modify the roll on the Large/Super Large crit tables. I did notice that A crits don't effect Large creatures and only Ds and Es effect SL creatures. However, is there a mod to the roll for B,C,D,E? A player mentioned that B is -10 C is +0, D is +10 and E is +20 and I seem to remember that from the old rules, but I don't see it in the new editions. Thanks.

I took a look through the old books (RM1/2 and FRP), and did not see that modification.

The only place I remember seeing that -20/-10/0/+10/+20 was the old MERP critical tables.

The critical tables for MERP went from -49 to 120, and were combined in a single table. The modifiers were A -20, B -10, C +0, D +10, and E +20, there was an additional -50 for Tiny attacks.

Quick add on, the various RM editions all say something like this for large/super large:

Sulimo's answer is how I understand the rule - There are no mods applied for Large or Super Large Crits. I found the following web page useful for explaining Mithril/Slaying/Magic etc when applied to L and SL crits and it may be of some use to you (see 5.6.4 for L and SL crits & 4.0 for Mithril/Slaying etc).

Like they said above.
The -20 and -40 are for creatures who have critical reduction marked I and II for one level and two levels of severity respectively. A creature with II crit reduction taking a C critical would instead take an A. If he took a B he would instead take an A at -20; and if he took an A it would be at -40.

Yes, except in RMC the penalty for reducing an A crit twice is -50.
