I plan (small things) as I go along. Had a whole different story for Emily until it all circled the drain... So I just go with the flow instead

Uh oh! I hope Colin didn't ruin Emily's story!!

Critical failure happens if you get a 1 (or other low number with certain abilities) on the wisdom check.

But you can also get a critical miss if you roll a nat 1 (or other applicable number) on accuracy!
From the duelling system:

Reducio

Critical Miss:

• If the Accuracy roll (without the added Accuracy stat) is 1, the attack is considered a Critical Miss.
• Critical Miss means that the caster missed the intended target completely and the spell is redirected to a random target (opponent or ally, excluding the caster and the original target).
• For the caster, a new d20 will be rolled but the Accuracy stat will not be added to it.
• The new target rolls for Evasion and the result is compared to the result of the new Accuracy roll.
• If there are no players left besides the caster and the original target, the Critical Miss is discarded.

And good luck, Lex!
