raymond_turney Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hi, It recently came to my attention that Fire and Sword nowhere says that a miss in combat does not do anything, nor is a fumble table provided. These defects will be corrected in 3rd edition. The current version of the Fumble Table follows: Roll Result 1-2 Off Balance Cannot attack next round 3-5 Off Balance – Can neither attack nor parry next round 6 Lose weapon – weapon cannot retrieved for rest of fight 7 Vision obstructed – Attacks and parries -10 till one round out of combat can be spent to remove obstruction 8 Hit self – rolled attack to see if special or critical, if not do normal weapon damage to self. If this happens while parrying, drop parrying weapon or shield. 9 Hit ally, as hit self except nearest friend is hit. If no friend within reach, hit self. 10 Expose yourself – all enemy attacks increase one level, thus enemy misses become hits, hits become specials, specials critical successes, and critical successes cinematic. Good luck, Ray, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trifletraxor Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Good! Every game should have a fumble table! Only one thing I would object to is the fact that the higher skill you have, the higher your risk of wounding yourself or a friend more seriously on a hit self/nearest friend result, which seems somewhat counterintuitive. :beetle: Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420.

sladethesniper Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I agree with Trifletraxor, it is a bit counter-intuitive. Other than that, it is a nice addition. -STS Quote Vhreaden: Blood, Steel and Iron Will is here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymond_turney Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi, The oddity that your chances of criting yourself went up went up as a character's skill increased was unintentional {the result of good old human failure to think} and has been eliminated in the revised fumble table.
