Critical Fumbles

Only use the crical fumble system if you get a natural 1 on an aack roll (not saving throws, not skills). Natural 1s are misses. To
determine if it's also a fumble, conrm the miss by rolling again, using this guideline:
BAB less than 6, if your conrmaon roll would miss the target, use this crical fumble chart.
BAB of 6 to 11, conrmaon roll is a natural 3 or less, use this chart.
BAB of 12 to 17, conrmaon roll is a natural 2 or less, use this chart.
BAB of 18+ and conrmaon roll is a natural 1, use this chart.
To use the chart, roll a d20 again and follow whatever is listed for that number. If a weapon type is not addressed or the eect is
impossible (such as "weapon drops" when using a spell), ignore it. A weapon can be a scroll, wand, etc.
