    Default Re: House rule for Nat 1's what do y'all think.

    Anything that has a long term effect based on the dice roll will matter more to PC than their opponents. If you had the PCs lose a finger if they roll a 1, pretty soon they would all retire and be named lefty. If you gave them a bonus to their strength score for every 20 made when doing an athletics check they would rival Hercules. Since the monsters only exist for one combat, this will have little change for them.
    The proposed fumble will do nothing to the baddies, as they can all be expected to have recently rested and repaired. All it does is add book-keeping and hassle for the players. It is not terrible, but I don't see that it adds more to the game than it detracts.
