[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5331780, member: 59506"] Yeah, I can see that. For those who want some kind of fumble result, it's worth it...but for those who don't, or who see other variables not addressed, it's probably more trouble than it's worth. I could see adding in a level bonus to the chance of a fumble, but then you start getting away from a simple system, and you're back into [I]"it's probably more trouble than it's worth"[/I] territory. Oh, I agree 100%. In such situations this is "sadistic", and a situation that truly sucks to be on the recieveing end of. There should always be agreement between players and DM, not just arbitrary rules mandates. In adjudication I believe that the DM is absolute...in decisions of the game and rules the group is playing, the group has to decide and agree. Dude, you're not picking on anything. What good is posting an idea if nobody is going to analyze or vet it. I think your criticism was completely constructive. For instance, I hadn't even thought about the idea that a high level characters chance of a detrimental fumble would be the same as a 1st level character. That was a good point to bring up. Thanks! Also, I used to use a fumble table too, but I'm finding lately that simpler is better for me. So I agree with you on that! Thanks for the dialogue.:) [/QUOTE]
