D&D 5th Edition by Roll20

I was doing some testing of attacks&damage with the new 2024 sheet/rules and rolled a "1" for an attack. The chat proclaimed that it was a "fumble". This is incorrect. A "1" is an automatic "miss", not a "fumble". There are no "fumble" conditions defined in the 2024 PHB. If the DM wants to call it a fumble, or have a homebrew rule, he can, but the rules say it's just a "miss". Yes, it's a minor point. But, this is how misinformation gets out.

Hi Saul! Can you scroll back up to that spot and capture a screen shot? That might be helpful for the team to narrow down the issue.

Very valid point, then. that text should not be there.
Especially given how terrible design fumble rules are and how often new dms fall for them - that word should definitely not appear on a nat 1. It'll make many players suffer.
