But at the same time, pc game and trpg is different, you do feel very excited when u roll a 20 and decide to use smite on paper, but if u put it on a trigger and it occurs randomly, i'm not sure if it will be as exciting as it is on paper.
Having the pop up system here would possibly make it more exciting then?
It would definitely feel better to click a button to smite KNOWING that you are going to do monster damage, as opposed to smiting and then finding out afterwards if you did monster dmaage or not.
That's why in table top crits feel nice.. when you roll the 20 you get excited because when you roll damage you know you're going to roll big. Crits in a video game never give that feeling, because you're always told after the fact, there's no time to get excited because the damage is already done and you've moved on to the next thing.
- Imagine this in a twitch stream situation, how much more exciting would a smite be if when the streamer crits he gets a pop up, he gets to shout out "Yeah baby I'm about to lay the PAIN on this guy" and all the lurkers can flick back to the stream to watch and react as the streamer clicks the smite button in anticipation of the huge damage.
