[QUOTE="wolfpunk, post: 110475, member: 699"] Here is the simple system I use. It is easy to determine the result, and usually results in something way better then the DM having to come up with some equivalent disaster all the time. Critical Misses If an attack roll is a roll of a natural 1, a critical miss has occurred. The player or DM then rolls a 1d8, the roll determines the result of the critical miss. Result 1 Amazingly dumb luck. The critical mis, somehow causes an event to happen that ends in the attack being carried out successfully as if it were a threat to critical. The player or DM then rolls to see if this hit is a critical hit. 2-7 Attack of Opportunity. The defender is able to capitalize on the situation and receives an Attack of Opportunity against the attacker. If the defender does not have an AoO to use, then this ability is lost. 8 Catastrophe. The critical miss is indeed critical, a weapon is dropped, a bow string snaps, the character loses their footing, any situation such as this could occur. In addition the attacker also suffers from the Attack of Oppurtunity listed above. Has worked well in my campaigns. [/QUOTE]
