With a 5% chance of a crit, you know you aren't critting on anything over a 5 (unless you have over 100% skill), so you don't need to wonder about it most of the time; same with specials on rolls over 20%.
Well, if 6000 gamers roll for 30 minutes...

20% and 5% is fine. I would prefer 10% and 1%, but I'm pretty used to 20 & 5.

Cheers,
Sverre.
