7.10  Blooper Table



    Each character has a potential blooper range.  Initially, normally, and perhaps always, that range will be "1" on a 1d20.  However, fair warning: there are curses, spells, cursed weapons, and other ways by which a character may, temporarily or permanently, experience an increased blooper range.
    Each potential blooper requires a confirming roll: a successful hit means that the blooper was only a miss (see exception below).
    In addition, magical weapons provide augmented protection against bloopering.  If a character using a magical weapon rolls a potential blooper, and then a confirmation of that blooper, there is still one additional check to be made.  If the character can make a saving roll: 1d20 plus DEX plus the weapon's ToHit magical plusses, versus DC 15, then this was only a miss, and not a blooper.

     It is possible to become sufficiently buffed up, that even a roll of "1" is sufficient to hit a foe.  Even so, rolling a "1" is always a potential blooper.  And rolling a second "1" on the confirming roll means that it is a blooper, even though the confirming roll would actually hit the foe.
    On the other hand, if the confirming roll is not a "1", then the initial attack roll of "1" is turned into a miss.  Most emphatically it is not a hit.

     Once an attack has been determined to be an actual Blooper, roll 4d6 and consult the following table for the results of the blooper:
