I think it would be intresting to add the ability to resist critical hits. It would work similar to attack/def levels. Heres how I see it.

Critical Defense: Lets say an assasin has 250% dmg to critical hits, and your defense against critical damage is 50%. You get hit with a critical for 200% instead of the 250%.

Critical Rate Resistance: You duel an archer with 25% Critical chance, your rate resistance is 10%. The archer would only have 15% chance of a critical hit against you.

Clearly this would be more for PvP, but I figured might as well see what some others would think of it.

    This exact thing already exists in jade dynasty.

    Critshield: Reduces the damage crits do to you exactly as you said.

    Critnull: Reduces their crit rate against you exactly as you said.

    Sounds like you obsess over crits and would hate to lose it. Crits can't be depended upon anyway so I don't see your point.

    Actually, certain classes can get pretty consistent crits. For example, a Sage sin can Power Dash and get 90+% crit. I'd say that's pretty consistent. I believe some other classes also have similar skills.

    Also, due to the nature of crits, high APS characters get a consistent damage increase from crits. More consistent than, say, wizards.

    If you see b:cute be sure to take a second, calm look at anything I said.

    All the more reason to add this suggestion.

    1 thing tho the lower lvl character who can only hit like 10% or something like that faces a person who can null the crit% to 0.....doesnt seem fair to have ur chances reduced to that. also 1 thing about crit hits is that they are chance shots. thats all if u want to have higher crit so u fight more on par with ur oponent then raise ur dex and add armor to increase ur crit rate.

    yeah, kill archers some more b:cry good idea... archers are weaker than other classes already =/ yet if people make it just resisting crits ingame. I know I won't be happy about it.

    What will be the point on being an archer if people resisted our crits ? T_T
