Feat to reduce fumble chances

Presently my fumble chances are only based on a second d20 roll where if the result is 1-7 (with relevant modifiers) a fumble occurs; 8-20 you are safe. I don't recall any feats to prevent a fumble outright, but weapon focus and specialization would reduce the chances by 1 point each.

So, I have thought up this feat to prevent any but the worst of fumbles:

No Mistakes [General]
Prereq: None
Benefit: If an attack that would normally be a fumble, the character gets to reroll the fumble confirmation to prevent the fumble.
Normal: Character fumbles, and takes results from fumble table.
Special: A character make take this feat multiple times, each time gaining another opportunity to reroll a confirmed fumble.


Is there a better way to make this feat, say by reducing the fumble chance by 2 or 3 instead of rerolling?
Thanks -

There's been no comments, as there is insufficient information to comment on.

You need to explain the rest of the fumble system.

How bad is fumbling? If fumbling is minor, then the feat may not be worth it; if fumbling is really bad (and I've seen some pretty bad ones - such as 'cut your own head off' random results), then the feat may be too good.

Per request, my current fumble rules are:

When a player rolls a 1, she rerolls d20. If the results are 1-7, a fumble occurs and consult the chart. On 8-20, no fumble occurs. Magic items, Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization each grant a bonus of 1 to the player's fumble roll, possibly avoiding a fumble.

1 Character is stunned, falling prone and dropping anything held.
2 Character is stunned and drops anything held.
3-4 If an item (weapon, device, etc.) was used, the item is sundered. Otherwise PC is stunned.
5-6 Character is stunned for a turn.
7 Character drops anything held in hand used.

Consequences aren't too bad. I'm still reworking it in another thread found here.
