BOTCHES

When a character rolls "Snake Eyes", he has achieved a Botch. 
If a character Botches during an Iniatitive roll, he can not attack that
round. Survival Tests and Unconsciousness checks can not be Botched, but
they can certainly fail. Here are some possibilities for what 
happens during a Botch. These tables are just suggestions; a character
who Botches an Athletics (Climbing) roll when he's attempting to scale
a mountain might have a very different result than those listed 
below. Likewise, someone who Botches on an PER + Technology roll for
explosives disposal could cut the wrong wire and cause the bomb 
to detonate. 

Rolling a Botch on an Initiative check means that you can not take
any offensive actions that entire round, although you can defend 
yourself by taking defensive actions (parry, dodge, catch arrows, etc.) 

If a "1" comes up on the Initiative die roll but isn't 
followed up by another  "1", then your first action will be on 
SR 5, followed by another action on that SR +3, etc. 
Essentially you're going last that round, but you 
still get your attacks and defensive actions. 

--------------------------------
DEX-based Skill (non-Combat)
Roll 1D10.
1-4	No fumble. It just doesn't work. 
5-7	Trip and fall down. Take 1D4 Bashing damage (a light sprain).
8-10	Major screwup. Take 1D6+1 Bashing damage. 



DEX-based Skill (Combat)
Roll 1D10.
1-4	No fumble. You just screw up. 
5	Dropped weapon. If you were trying to kick or punch something, 
	roll DEX x 2 and succeed, or else you'll fall flat on your
	butt or face. 
6	Weapon discharges or hits something harmless. If the character
	is using a Brawl or Melee attack, it's a wild swing and miss. 
7	Weapon is embedded or stuck in something. If the weapon is a
	firearm, it jams. If it is a revolver, it does not jam (instead
	the bullet turns out to be a dud round). Fixing a jammed
	firearm will require a PER + Repair or PER + Firearms (requires
	a number of rounds equal to 5 - Success Levels on the repair 
	roll, minimum 1 round). 
8	Ricochet time! The player should roll temporary Luck + 1D10. 
	With no successes, the bullet hits the player character. 
	If the character is using Melee or Brawl, he overstrains his
	own muscles for his STR in Bashing damage. 
9-10	Ricochet time! All the players should roll temporary Luck
	+1D10. With no successes, the bullet hits that unlucky player
	character. If the attack was a Brawl or Melee one, then the
	attack hits the closest PC in range. If there are no PCs
	close enough to be hit by a Brawl or Melee attack, then 
	disregard. 




INT-based Skill (Repairing something, Building something, Arts and Crafts)
1-4	No fumble, but it isn't any good. 
5-7	You screwed up but good. You dropped the tools you were using
	or did even more damage than before. Repairing or making the item
	will require two additional Success Levels on top of whatever it
	needed before. 
8-10	Total failure. The item is beyond repair. Buy a new one. 




INT or WILL-based Skill (Influence, Leadership)
1-4	No fumble. They just aren't buying it.
5-7	No fumble, and they are now really skeptical. You need two 
	additional Success Levels on top of whatever you needed before
	to persuade them. 
8-10	You just insulted them. Roll 1D10. On a 1-4, they will 
	immediately attack you. 


INT or PRE-based Skill (Figuring Stuff Out, Noticing Stuff, Investigation)
1-4	Out to Lunch. You don't fumble but aren't paying enough attention. 
5-7	Baka. You not only fail, but others can roll PER + Alertness 
	with a +2 to notice how much you're acting like a moron. 
8-10	Everyone sees how foolish you're acting.
