To-hit rolls use a [[dice roll|roll]] on a 1d20 dice, if the result is equal to or greater than 20, the hit will be a crit. Crits dealt with melee weapons ignore the [[DV]] and, if the source of the damage is the player, the [[AV]] of the target for the first penetration. Subsequent penetrations do not ignore AV but still benefit from a +1 bonus to PV. Crits with ranged weapons merely increase the PV of the shot by 2.
