Forgive me if I am "misremembering" FG Classic. But I seem to recall being able to specify on a character sheet what numbers constituted a critical hit as well as a section to apply special dice or effects, like 1d6 extra force damage on a critical hit in 5E.

Now, running my FGU 5E campaign I find a need for several players to be able to specify a 19 or 20 as a crit and special effects or dice to go with that crit. Does that exist and I cannot find it or is it something to be added soon? As a long time player of 3.5 it seems that 5E has many more classes and features that require this type of option.

So my official suggestion for FGU is:
Ability of program to automatically determine a crit not only on 20 but at designated input such as 19-20
Program automatically rolls correct dice on non crit but then has special section to deal extra dice or effects on a crit
***and just in case the devs have time on their hands***
On a crit the players PC begins purring loudly so that players' cat comes over and rubs up against his feet gently.

THANKS for consideration and anyone posting any helpful replies so a GM can better automate this process in FGU 5E!

Moved to the 5E sub-forum.

Check the D&D 5e Weapon item "properties" field detailed in the Wiki here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996641969/5E+Item+Sheet+and+Treasure+Parcels#Create-a-Weapon

Beyond specifying the critical range, I'm not sure about your other requests. People more familiar with the D&D 5e ruleset will hopefully help out.

Click on the weapon meta data (see image) and you can specify a crit range there or add extra dice on a crit. See the wiki as Trenloe points out for weapon properties. And for anything else you can used the CRIT: x effect where x is the minimum range for a crit for a specific PC roll. You can also use DMG: ndn, [<damagetype>], critical to add specific dice on a particular roll. See here for more information on such effects https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996642031/5E+Effects+for+Advanced+Automation#Modifiers
