Realism aside...

Free disarm attempts! Free sunder attempts from enemy! They're way cooler ways to do critfails along the lines of weapon-flies-from-hand/weapon-breaks. Toss in a "doesn't provoke AoO, if they have imp. whatever they get +4 to the check" and you're set.

They're critfails, not adventure hooks.

Okay, taking on board the comments and criticism offered, here's the revised table:

01-09 : Provoke an immediate Attack of Opportunity from your target.
10-19: Target gets an immediate free trip attack - does not provoke an Attack of Opportunity and defender cannot make a trip attack if the attacker fails.
20-24: Fall prone.
25-34: Lose Dex bonus to AC for one round.
35-39: Hit yourself. Roll weapon damage with no positive strength mod (negative one still applies)
40-49: Strain yourself. Lose Str bonuses to hit and damage for 1d4 rounds.
50-59: Strain yourself. Lose Dex bonuses to hit for 1d4 rounds.
60-69: Target gets an immediate free disarm attack - does not provoke an Attack of Opportunity.
60-64: Drop weapon.
65-69: Make a second attack roll at the same bonus as the botched attack. Random roll determines target within range.
70-79: Lose next action.
80-84: Fall into pattern. Target of attack gains +2 circumstance bonus to AC and to hit vs attacker for 1d4 rounds.
85-94: Target gets an immediate free sunder attack vs weapon - does not provoke an Attack of Opportunity.
95-99: Weapon is damaged, suffering -2 to hit and damage until repaired by DC 10 craft check.
100: Stunned for one round.

Random observation:

For armors there is stacks of neat special materials.

For weapons it appears it is pretty much mithril or none.  Seems kind of dull.  Sure, Steel is the mainstay and classic and some things are made out of wood but it seems so boring.  I'm surprised there aren't more.  Where's the bone maces or igneaous stone axes?  The crystal blades or vine stuff?  The twisting spiked chain borne of chaos?

Doesn't need fixing but hey...would be cool for a touch of added variety/flavor.
