	The numbers shown on the figure provided shows the assigned weight to each hex where the hammer might fall, with a good likelihood that it lands in Hig's own hex. That failing, it's more likely to land in Taver's hex, where Taver could help Hig recover it; if not, then it falls into a hex marked with a "1." Altogether, 4, 2 and three 1s adds to 9; an appropriate die is therefore rolled and the weapon's resting place is thus determined.

		+	In like fashion, characters with this ability are unable to accidentally fumble their weapons into deep water or off a cliff, or otherwise into a situation where the weapon couldn't be recovered. Fumbled weapons may yet fall into shallow water, or potentially under furniture and other obstacles, but even this is less likely than a normal fumble.

+In demonstration, the character Hig finds himself in a skirmish against Jerome and Marcus, backed by his ally Taver.  [[Roll to Hit|Rolling the to hit die]], Hig fumbles his [[Warhammer (weapon)|warhammer]].  Normally according to fumble rules, a d8 would be rolled to determine where the hammer would fall — yet, owing to the sage ability, he retains some influence over the weapon's landing spot, so that it cannot fall in the hexes occupied by Jerome and Marcus.
-For example, Hig is fighting Jerome and Marcus, while being supported by his ally Taver, when he drops his [[Warhammer (weapon)|warhammer]].  Normally, according to fumble rules, he would roll a d8, giving him a 25% chance of the weapon landing in his own hex.  However, Hig has ''some control'' over where a dropped weapon falls, due to the sage ability.  The numbers shown indicate the weight given to each hex, adding to a total of 9 points.  The character rolls a random die to determine the hammer's place, perhaps starting with Hig and moving clockwise around the outside (or as wished).  Hig's chance of dropping the hammer in his own hex is slightly more than 44%; in a friendly hex, nearly 67%.  He has no chance of dropping the hammer in the hex occupied by Jerome or Marcus.
