I just wanted to bounce an idea off you guys, it may have come from
another RP system, but I can remember where from and it sounded right.

All right, I thought the rolling all ones roll was kinda unrealistic
(and I wanted revenge on all those monowhip users out there) and
re-thought the whole critical failure system. I was down at the local
hobby shop studying those funny dice where the one is a skull, and it
spawned idea.

The Oopse Die Rule:
Designate one die as the "Oopse Die", It's a good idea to have this
another color or style or something. Whenever a test is made, roll this
one as the first di (I have a firearms skill 5, I roll 4 die and the
oopse die)

If the test is a total failure (no sucesses) and the oopse die is a 1,
whoever rolled i is screwed. Also a fine replacement for the existing
clean miss rules I belive.

Anyone using something like this, or modified it?
