Here is such a 3d6 table for the DM to use when such a situation occurs. Slightly more humorous that I would normally do, which can be fun.
To use this chart, when the group is in a clumsy situation, roll every x turns [modified by various factors like terrain, lighting], and on a successful roll, consult chart for a complication. If a complication does not make sense, roll again.
3 | Iggy's itchy bow fingers | Accidental ranged weapon release (normal damage) |
4 | So sleepy… | Reduced oxygen in this area makes d4 characters tired, all rolls -1 for d4 turns |
5 | Oh Nose! | Trips and falls flat on face, resulting in a broken nose, -1hp, -1CHA until healed (d6 weeks) |
6 | Shiny Shiny! | Someone in the march order stops abruptly, resulting in a pileup |
7 | You fool of a Took! | One Character kicks over a pile of something very very loud |
8 | Dung you watch where you walk? | Slips in something unmentionable on the ground, spills out all gear |
9 | Watch your step! | Hole in the ground results in twisted ankle, reduced movement for d4 turns |
10 | It sure is drafty in this place | One Light source is snuffed out, and needs to be relit |
11 | Slippery slope | One character trips and drops hand carried gear |
12 | Watch where you point that thing! | Someone gets an eye full of torch/lamp, -1 to ranged combat for d6 turns |
13 | How much did you eat again? | Belt breaks, drops attached gear to the ground with a loud clatter |
14 | Watch your head dummy! | Cracks head on low point in ceiling/branch etc., character drops to ground, -1hp if not wearing helmet |
15 | Wallow wallow piggy! | Falls into a mud hole, -2CHA until cleaned off |
16 | Who ate beans last night? | a concentration of
Methane gas ignites if there is open flame, resulting in a puff of light, and d4 damage to the person carrying the flame |
17 | If you were a horse, we would shoot you | Hole in the ground results in broken ankle, -2hp, reduced movement until healed (d10 weeks) |
18 | Chuck was a little too ready with the sword | Someone stabs someone else (damage -1) |

Very nice! Got some obvious things that I'm kicking myself now for missing.
Mine is here: http://coffeeanalog.blogspot.com/2012/01/random-table-for-jeff.html, in case you'd like to look at it.
