Hi

I have wondered for a while: Are there any consequences of doing a critical miss?

When I play P&P AD&D we normally have some sort of penalty decided by an extra 1d20 roll (the lower the worse), the situation and the mood of the DM. It could be something like:

Loosing the rest of your attacks for the round.
Dropping your shield or/and weapon
Chopping your weapon into a wooden pole/door or the like.
Breaking your weapon
Hitting one of your friends (I tried that once, when my sword slipped out of my hand. What a disgrace for a self-appointed leader - in fact my character was the only one in the party with a military background (former city guard)).
