[QUOTE="brun, post: 417604, member: 7100"] In our game, we use the rule. I'm kind of loose as a DM and the players figured that since they ars 5 and I'm alone, they had more chances of using it. Well, as the party was dealing with a few abishais in a demon outpost, the first use of the rule came into play. The wizard was boosting the party, the druid was doing what he could, the shadow dancer was sneak-attacking as he could and the 2 ubber-fighters were doing fine (read killing by the dozens) while the thief was "guarding the rear". Then the SD got scared for his hide and popped away, the druid ran out of spells (but he was out of the demons' reach) and the wizard was occupied with something else. That leaves the 2 fighters alone (the thief, well...). There's 5 abishais left against the 2 fighters. We're talking 13th level character: one warrior of resolve (a tank that gets stronger as he gets hit) and a dwarven falchion master (can every one say *power-gamer*?). The dwarve got hit one time, the other only 2, and both have stonesking and bullstrength and have disposed of about 13 demons. I roll in plain sight, as they all have guest their ennemies' stats and the outcome is so evident. But I roll a 20, and then a 20 (I needed 19 or 20 to score a crit), and then another 20... All look at me while I slowly says that the dwarf has been killed... And then I score a crit against the remaining fighter... It was so great! [/QUOTE]
