[QUOTE="Dagger75, post: 570468, member: 539"] I have been having bad luck rolling my dice. They come up low numbers ALL the time. I have tried that voodo mumbo jumbo, roll them all till there high and what not, bought new dice but in all honesty they are hunks of plastic. In the Epic game I am running, the PC's have AC near 40, fine, my bad guys have 35+ to hit and multiple attacks. Well I usually hit on the first attack most of the time I roll the minimum to hit, the other attacks, I never hit. I am not kidding, this has been going on for while and its actually ruining the game for me. Damage when I do hit is minimal. Crits, I have critted 5 times in the last 6 months. The same goes for skill checks and saving throws. At epic levels more than a fair share of save or die spells are thrown around on both sides, guess who fails there saves. I even pimped a character out, with massive save to help me. the only roll I would fail on is a 1. Well I failed on the save. Next spell, on a different character, failed save this time needed to roll a 5 or better. Spells, Haa. I miss on touch attacks with harm. My hasted drow cleric of lolth missed THREE times in a row on her touch attack. My nice 19D8 Fireseed actually missed by 1 but I told the plaers hit hit and when I rolled damage about 50. Whoopy. But as I said earlier this is actually ruining the game for me. I like making the NPC's, like planning the adventures, and all the evil scheming that goes into the game, I actually dread combat because none of my creations can do anything. Next combat I should give them Exp and hand them the magic items. I aint looking for answers so much as wondering if I am the only person this happens to. My group is more hack-n-slash than role playing. They don't mind roleplaying but get bored with it pretty quick. Thanks for listening [/QUOTE]
