This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I vote for a 1 to be auto-miss, with it maybe also making any extra attacks normally made in the same round by the same character a miss also. So if you get 2 attacks in a round and get a 1 on the first roll you miss all attacks that round.

I'm not into fumble charts with effects.

Yeah, just automatic miss on a '1' rather than Keystone Cops antics. ;):D

Sounds better on a tactical level, because you at least know what to expect, instead of maybe cutting your own head with your claymore. ;)

I don't favor adding elaborations onto the D&D combat rules, especially when they mostly make the PC's lives harder. (Really I'm not a huge fan of criticals in D&D either.)

I also agree with Drohem that it tends to create a Keystone Kops effect that's not desirable.

auto miss sounds good...forefitting any other attacks seems OK as well.

CHEERS ALL!
safe & happy days to you and yours...
:D
Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

I can't really get a long enough break to concentrate on the game right this minute.

But in any case. I just wanted you guys to know what's going on. Things will get back to normal by the 2nd or 3rd of January (few days from now), hopefully. I just realized we'll be travelling back home on the 31st and arriving probably during the night of the 1st to 2nd of January, so I'll have New Year's Eve on transit.

Yayy. :(

Dude, a holiday-break is to be expected. Don't worry. Enjoy your holidays!

All is well! It's just that we're running left and right and I'd need peace to think about the game (read: immersion) before posting which I cannot do with the whole family buzzing around me right now. Ranting over balance? Sure. Posting in the game? Not yet.

But soon!
