We used the updated Bad Misses tables in the last gaming session. Fun stuff! The party's archer nearly killed himself...twice. He does x4 critical thanks to deepwood sniper levels, so you can imagine his pain. I had to park the NPC cleric right next to him with a healthy does of heals, and revivify on deck. :)
Here's a question that came up:
When fumbling and hitting yourself (or an ally), should you apply precision-based damage (such as sneak attack, point blank shot, etc.)? It would seem not, since fumbling is the antithesis of precision, right?
I would think not, since the precision based damage is based on careful timing and anticipation of the enemy's movements...basically, what you said.

I agree. It's not like a rogue lines up a careful sneak attack and then accidentally skewers his own pancreas instead of the orc in front of him. No, as he lunges, his short sword turns in his sweaty little hand and slips and hits him on the leg (or some such).
