I can fucking fumble a coup de gras and cut off my own finger. Who does that?
One of our most memorable D&D games was when our paladin and his horse were pursuing a bad guy, and the paladin got out his lance and prepared to skewer the guy.
He fumbled. He rolled a critical, hit friend. The only 'friend' near him was the horse.
So our paladin ended up taking out his own horse, then fumbled his recovery and knocked himself out with his own sword. The bad guy got away, of course.
Dice rolls make the best games!

We STILL talk about that game!
