 Similarly, a Backstab cannot be spent on effects that a Critical Hit may qualify for, unless it is also a Critical Hit.
 ==Severity Effects==
 Severity Points can be spent on a number of effects, based on the least limited type of attack it was as per the table.
 ===Quick Severe Attacks===
 To speed things up, a Backstab or Critical Hit may always deal Maximum Damage or deal +1d6 damage for 1 point and add 1d6 per 2 points of Severity. Any remaining points are converted to 2 damage.
