Defensive, Attacker Fumbles

When an attacker fumbles, the defender may manouvre or deflect the blow in such a way that it hits an adjacent bystander instead. This requires that the new target is within reach of the attackers melee wepaon, or in the case of a ranged weapon, standing along the line of fire.

The new victim is taken completely by surprise by the unexpected accident, and has no chance to avoid the attack which automatically hits, though the attack does not apply any special effects to the new victim.
