I have a strange request today. My players are sad that I don't play with critical fumbles, and have asked me to put them in the game.

If I'm going to put them in, however, they're going to flavourful. So, I'm looking for descriptive tables of fumbles. Severity/lack of severity of the results isn't a problem; I really just want interesting things to happen (that I don't have to spend time coming up with). Not just "you drop your weapon" or "you take an AoO".

Here's (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57526) what I've found (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/corey.sonnenberg/Faerun/Critical%20Fumble%20Table.htm) so far, which comes to ~30 results. I'm hoping to make it to 100 or so.

It sounds like Rolemaster and Warhammer might have good tables; can anyone confirm this, or point me towards where they are?

It may or not be what you're wanting, but my husband/DM uses this (http://www.angelfire.com/dragon3/vinifera/critical_hit_table_2e.pdf) for his criticals and fumbles.

I tell you, accidentally beheading your own party's "tank" is a sad, sad thing. :smalleek:

This (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/tools/critical-generator) is really fun. 52 options each for natural, melee, ranged and magic fumbles. My table actually uses the cards they're based off of, but this is easy and free.

Hmn, those are pretty expansive. I can definitely add some description to them.

Are those the same as the playing cards that Paizo offers? Some of the results remind me of them. Edit: Reading fail; my question was already answered. Sorry, it's finals week so I'm a bit scattered.
