I did a quick forum search and didn't really see what I was looking for, but please feel free to point me in the right direction, if necessary.
This question came up during a melee combat scenario, but it can applyto all skills:
Looking at the BRP Skill Results Table (p. 172), there is a 'Critical' column, a 'Special' column, and a 'Fumble' column.
Is it correct to surmise that a character, with a 20 skill, can get a 'Critical' AND a 'Special' result at the same time? (01- 02 Critical result vs. 01-05 Special result overlap)
I see no Fumble Overlap (thank goodness!).
Hrrmmm...
I did some rereading and I guess I answered my own question:
So apparently, the Skill Results table just needs to be interpreted a certain way. At least it makes sense now!
