[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 6014465, member: 1210"] For some of us with fumble systems, casters [i]are[/i] affected by them, at least when there is an attack roll. It all depends on your playstyle. Clearly, to you (and SotS and Dandu and...), fumbles don't add anything. Just as clearly, some of us find that they add a great deal to the game. That's fine. Maybe you like Forgotten Realms and I hate it. That's fine too. Playstyle differences aren't a terrible thing; they're just differences in how we like to play the game. And yet, for many years, quite a few gamers have managed to incorporate exactly that type of play into our D&D games and been perfectly happy with it. The whole "go play a different game if you aren't playing it my way!" thing isn't very useful. Nobody's trying to tell you not to. Is there any reason why the fumble-lovers should give up their fumble systems, which in many cases make them quite happy, in order to appease you? [/QUOTE]
