Fumble Chart
This is simply a chart designed to add a bit of variety to the player's possible plight in rolling a natural 1 during an attack, for the DM who doesn't cater to every whim of their players. Note that this chart is strictly for combat fumbles.
- How It Works::
When a player rolls a natural 1 on a d20, it's a miss. However, to add a bit of drama to the game, have them roll a confirm miss or fumble. If they get a 2 or more on another d20 roll, the attack is a simple miss. If they roll another natural 1, roll on the fumble chart.
