Fumble Tables

When the defender exceeds you by triple or more, roll on the appropriate fumble table. Melee for close combat, Ranged for shooting, Broadcast for transmissions. Quadruple adds +1, quintuple adds +2.

Everything in the Complex is patched, jury-rigged, held together by faith and flux. Equipment fails. Weapons jam. The body betrays. The Cog-Turners say failure is just maintenance you haven't done yet. The dead say nothing.
