Elric! has grappling rules in it and intentional knockback, and barring BRP0, its one of the most recent versions of the BRP system.

And if the rules don't specifically reference effects connected to the criticals, then its quite debatable what the GM should 'want' to do with the system.

Since most resistance rolls are binary, not a lot of them will have much to benefit from special effects of the rolls.
