[QUOTE="JediMasterGunner, post: 5981847, member: 67229"] This happened to me recently in a d20 Apocalypse campaign. We've been playing over a year and reached level 13. We were fighting bad guys responsible for unleashing a flu that wiped out most of the world's population. It was in a desert and there was a complication of huge burrowing insects: imagine the worms from Tremors but as beetles. Our target was getting away by motorbike and our truck was parked pretty far away so we could sneak into the complex. I went out with Combat Expertise for +5 and Fighting Defensively for +3 on top of an already exceptional Defense (AC). One of the monsters pops out and attacks with a bite that leads into a Swallow Whole attack. The DM rolled a 20, the only number that would hit. the bug didn't confirm the crit, but the normal damage from the auto hit dealt enough for a Massive Damage save. The DC was 15 and I had a +10 Fort save and we were at the level of rolling 3d6 for Action Points to add the best to the roll. I rolled a 1, an auto fail where AP wouldn't help. That dropped me to -1 HP so I couldn't try to escape the mouth. The next turn my character was eaten alive and then killed in the belly from acid and crushing damage. [/QUOTE]
