Because they're converted directly, there's still the inconsistencies from the earlier charts (such as non-scaled severity in some places) but I felt that this just adds to the randomness of die rolling and didn't correct it.
The charts are long, so I'll break it up into damage types, then follow up with the special conditions table and some more crunch my friends and I came up with to work off of the charts.
To use these charts, simply find the type of damage your weapon does, roll a d10 for location, then a d20 for severity.
Any creature immune to critical hits is generally immune to most effects, though DMs could rule that severed or crushed extremities are possible. Also, as a variant that my friends and I used, any protection against critical hits only had a chance or fully protected against these secondary effects. Damage is still taken with the critical multiplier that applies.
