Don't.
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

Yeah, missing is bad enough.  Played Encounters and they used a fumble table.  Two natty 1s in one nite was enough for me.  Spending 1 of your 5 turns stunned is ****ing dumb.

You know, when you roll a 1 on your attack roll and switch from playing D&D to 'Three Stooges: The RPG'.  "According to my chart, your sword slips out of your hand on the backswing, stabbing your buddy in the face.  Roll the damage for that, would you?"

We just make up fumbles. It's mroe of a 50/50 fumble. You don't jsut fumble immediately. Kinda like confirming a crit in 3.x. We pretty much roll a saving throw to see if you fumble bad enough to hurt someone or yourself. Funny story, we had a paladin kill a rogue on accident like this. Only use fumbles if your sure you want damage to be inflicted on others, and use them with extreme caution.

If you already have a funble table you like, just toss it on and go.  Otherwise I recommend google.
Seriously, though, you should check out the PbP Haven.  You might also like Real Adventures, IF you're cool.

I'm sure the rogue thought it was hilarious.

Here's the one I came up with for my group.

Whenever you roll a natural 1 on an attack roll, roll a d20 to determine the effect from the following table.
  1. You miss.
  2. You whiff.
  3. You flounder.
  4. You goof.
  5. You fail to hit the target.
  6. You miss and curse under your breath.
  7. Your foe dodges your attack completely.
  8. Your foe parries the attack completely.
  9. The target's deity intervenes and thwarts your attack.
  10. Reroll the attack and automatically fail the second roll.
  11. You deal max damage against the air.
  12. Your old college football injury acts up, causing you to swing wide.
  13. The target's substitute faded.
  14. In a parallel universe, your attack hits.
  15. The Spanish Inquisition!!!!
  16. Sunlight glints off some random object and into your eye.
  17. The moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie.
  18. Nope.avi
  19. There is no joy in Mudville.
  20. Roll again.

Beautiful.  The only change I would make would be on result 20 which would be "Roll again and change the result to a natural 1."
OD&D, 1E and 2E challenged the player. 
3E challenged the character, not the player. 
Now 4E takes it a step further by challenging a GROUP OF PLAYERS to work together as a TEAM. 
That's why I love 4E.
