You have learned to make the most out of seemingly benign or even poor situations in combat. You gain the following benefits:
You can choose any other number on a d20 other than 20 to have as your critical strike roll on attack rolls. You may change this number during any short rest.
If you have an ability that grants you multiple critical numbers, ie Superior Critical, you may swap all of these numbers with other numbers on a d20.
The replaced numbers act as normal attack values, and are no longer treated as critical numbers.
For example, a champion with superior critical can replace their critical on 18, 19, and 20 with critical on 1, 2, and 3. If they then roll a 20, it is merely treated as 20+attack against target AC as standard, with no extra damage die. Rolling a 1, 2, or 3 would be treated as a critical hit, and automatically hit and deal the standard critical bonus damage.
