[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5414968, member: 52734"] Ah, I finally found a copy - here are the 2E rules I had for fumbles... [B]Critical Fumble Table[/B] [B]Method:[/B] Whenever an attacking being rolls a natural 1 on 1d20, there is a chance for a critical fumble to occur. The being must make an immediate Saving Throw vs. Petrification to avoid a fumble. If the saving throw is successful, the attacking being has recovered, and suffers no ill effects. If the saving throw is failed, roll on the table below to determine what sort of fumble occurs. If the saving throw is failed with a result of 2, add +2 to the roll below. If the saving throw is failed with a 1, add +4 to the roll below. [B]1d20 roll Result[/B] 1 - 2 Attacker drops weapon.
