====== Fumbles in Combat ======

In combat, can fumble an //initiative//, //attack// or //defence// roll. Cannot fumble damage or soak (in both cases, it is treated as a simple '1').

===== Initiative =====

If fumble //initiative//, cannot make an action that round, though can declare defenses. Since initiative is only done at the start of combat, this only affects the first round of combat.

===== Attack =====

When fumbling an attack roll, one of the following could happen:

  * Gain a point of fatigue.
  * Loose weapon (disarmed).
  * Break weapon (sundered), but only if it is a //weak// weapon.

Normally, the attacker chooses one of the above options. If the defender has a greater //skill// (*not* ability), then the defender can choose. In all cases, the attack is a failure.

===== Defence =====

When fumbling a defence roll, one of the following could happen:

  * Gain a point of fatigue.
  * Loose weapon (disarmed).
  * Break weapon (sundered), even if weapon isn't //weak//.
  * Fail defence.

Normally, the attacker chooses one of the above options. If the defender has a greater //skill// (*not* ability), then the defender can choose (yes, this is subtly different from attack fumbles, in that it is not the fumbler that gets to choose by default).
