So, in my games, I use a critical failure list D% that is ridiculous. The worst thing that can happen to the PC from this list is that they take a little bit of damage. Some of them are not as good as others and I want some good ideas for replacements. Here are a few to give you a clue to what I'm talking about. Please number them to keep it readable!
One of my favorites:
1) Being confident is one thing. Being so cocky you yell "I am INVINCIBLE!" as you attack your enemy, providing him ample warning to get out of the way - is quite another. You miss.
2) You trip, start to fall, recover by doing a forward flip. So that's how it's done! Gain one rank in Acrobatics.
3) All librarians now hate you and will attack you on sight.
4) Your opponent becomes mad with power, thinking that you missed him because you were afraid of his grand presence. He immediately leaves the battle and attempts to take over the world. Somewhere in one of my worlds is a Stone Gollem trying to take over the world...
So, let's see what you can come up with!
