Resilience vs a fumble

[PhilHibbs]

If I fumble and spectacularly disembowel myself all over my enemy, how do I handle my Resilience roll? Simple success? Technically you could say that even a failure beats the fumbled attack roll.

I would use a simple resilience test maybe with a modifier based on how bad the injury is. After that I would say, "Phil you're not meant to use a real sword while gaming" and would call for an ambulance. 8)

By RAW you would have to beat the fumble roll even with failure, which I find reasonable if not entirely logical.

That's MRQ1 not MRQII. In MRQII you can't beat an opponent in an opposed roll unless you succeed at your skill. If you fail you might win by default depending on the fumble but that's up to players. E.g. if you are doing opposed Brawn rolls for arm wrestling one person fails and the other fumbles then you could rule that the fumbler slips and loses contact or pulls a muscle or something.

In the case of a resilience roll, a failure is a failure no matter what the other roll does.

You are right, I was remembering old rulings.
