Level Up (A5E) Fumbles and Critical Saves?

[Cadence]

My ability to search the books and google seems to be failing me.

What does a critical fumble do besides miss?
What does a critical success or failure on a save do besides make or miss the save?

(I found the critical hits, and what happens with skills).

Thanks!

critical fumbles just miss/automatically fail except with skills, which is what you found.

Thanks, that's what it looked like. But it seemed odd thinking back to what fumbles were in some old D&D games to call a natural 1 either a critical roll or fumble if it didn't signify anything except a failure. Ditto for the critical success on a save if its just a save.

I have a level up oriented critical fumble chart. Even for spells.

With different way to increase crit range (rogue features, some maneuvers) Do you use your table only on 1 and 20 or does it 'proc' if your crit range increase?

It’s never come up at my table but I would have no problem with that.

I used to like crit fumbles back in the day, but i haven't used them in a long time. Tim Kask put it pretty well, "If you had a weapon that broke or hurt you every 20 times you used it, you'd toss it."
