Pathfinder Critical Fumble Deck Review

Critical fumble Deck

Overview

Paizo have introduced a fair amount of content for Pathfinder 2e in support of the core rules and adventure paths over recent years. This Critical Fumble deck of cards is then another example of a low-cost playing aid that is very practical and fun to use. The deck is optional to used and offers role-players’ the option to draw a random card each time they suffer a critical fumble.

What You Get

In the deck you get 52 cards. Each card features four attack categories, namely, melee, ranged, unarmed and spell. When you draw a card, you simply apply the new effect based and your attack category. Be warned, the cards offer effects that you might find too much.

The cards are designed to be used with the Pathfinder 2e RPG system, although I have used them for another game. They were still fun to use, but not all the rules and effects are transferrable.

The Components

The cards are playing card size and fair quality. They look nice and are easy to read and although the print isn’t large, I find it is comfortable to read – I wear glasses but removing them makes reading the cards easy.

Added Fun And Variety

I would recommend these Critical Fumble Deck of cards not just for fun but for the variety of effects. In an abstract game it’s easy to lose the impact of fumbles and rather than narrate that a fumble occurred these cards offer a way to elaborate. So, for those players that like to immerse themselves in added theme and detail without complex rules, these cards do a fair job.
