[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7123125, member: 6801845"] You're making a lot of assumptions with your "vast majority of fumble resolutions..." if you have an option you want to discuss feel free. Just don't start throwing numbers around and assume that everyone knows exactly what system you are using. Taking into consideration how much you miss by will change the math. However, higher level characters also tend to face opponents with higher ACs. For example in a fight with a 20th level character has a +12 to hit versus opponents with a 20 AC compared to a 1st level fighter with a +5 to hit versus opponents with a 13 AC. Both hit on an 8 or higher, and miss on a 7 or lower. Both will hit or miss on a single hit by the same amount, and the same percentage of times. The high level character, however will have 4 chances to roll a 1 instead of 1 chance. Even if rolling a 1 only results in a fumble 5% of the time, the high level character is still 4 times more likely to fumble. I don't know what "box" you've condescendingly put me in, I'm talking basic math. Obviously this is going to vary a great degree depending on the AC of opponents and campaign assumptions. [/QUOTE]
