If that's the vibe you want to go for. You should be careful of consequences like this. You could cause your players to become resentful or hurt the enjoyment of combat, especially in games where villians can be really hard to hit in combat.

we need more of this in comics and movies as well... great suggestion!

A quadruple botch was in the category of “Surviving witnesses report…” Quintuple botch: “The archaeological record shows layers that indicate…” Sextuple botch: “Historical records have rumors of a society…”

Blink blink. Ok. Will do. Will put that in my session zero house rules.

"With great power comes great responsibility..." "And other screws."

oh yes, i like to introduce this concept first in a wilderness area, such as with flammable swamp gas or with a collapse-prone cavern. In this way, the characters will know in advance about the potential consequences.

I had an incident with one of the PCs, they were fighting on top of a tower and threw a javelin that missed... It didn't miss an innocent villager at ground level though 😬

But maybe chat with your players about tone first. This can be a really upsetting thing to inflict on your players unannounced, when they thought they thought they were signing up for a Silver Age comic and instead they got Invincible.
