I am stunned(for 30 seconds :-)) and amused that this is *still* on the Rolemaster Moving Manuever Fumble Chart after all these years! <br /><br />Note well that this was the rules system utilized for the longest lasting(and well-supported) Tolkien RPG ever. MERP, 1st Ed. *sigh* Those were the days of high adventure and low life expectancy. May those times return!velaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689908090884198784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-53270461295667644992012-02-18T10:06:03.570-06:002012-02-18T10:06:03.570-06:00Happy to contribute, especially since I stole 25% ...Happy to contribute, especially since I stole 25% of my entries from you.

The blank entries on my...Thanks for the nod, Jeff!<br /><br />The blank entries on my chart are intended to give the characters a break -- I don't want something bad to happen to them every single time. That's also why the last three entries are there. Note on these that it's somebody else in the dungeon that dropped the magic item/loot -- it's a freebie.<br /><br />Although when I revise the chart, I'm going to specifically make it to be invoked for parties that don't rest (one turn out of every six!). Rest (and suffer the wandering monster roll) or you get fatigued and bad things can happen.<br /><br />That way it's not just a random thing, but a specific mishap caused by a specific in-game behavior.<br /><br /><br />Of course, anybody can use it in any way they want. That's one of the beauties of this hobby!Will Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379173017869751088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-63811795834520514752012-02-17T10:28:37.335-06:002012-02-17T10:28:37.335-06:00I'm a big fan of temporary ability score nerfs...I'm a big fan of temporary ability score nerfs; some entries on my chart include:<br /><br />- muscle cramp from carrying gear funny; lose 1d3 points of Strength for 1d4 turns<br />- rotten food/rations; lose 1d4 points of CON for 1d6 turns<br />- sprayed by skunk, fell in mud hole, or similar unpleasant experience; lose 1d3 points of CHA until you clean yourself up!LokiSoonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737401990691895503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-24677556491188216182012-02-17T09:30:45.223-06:002012-02-17T09:30:45.223-06:00Always loved the imaginary unseen dead turtle fumb...Always loved the imaginary unseen dead turtle fumble.
