It was my very first D&D game back in 2E when my roommate ran me through a solo adventure. I was a level 12 half-elf ranger, I was riding my Pegasus looking for people to help and continuing my adventure when a white dragon swooped up out of nowhere to attack me. A bit of background - I killed this particular dragon's sibling a few levels prior and this dragon decided to track me down to get some revenge.Anyhow, there ensued an epic aerial battle between me and this dragon. I was knocked off my Pegasus when the dragon killed it in mid-flight. Then as I was falling the dragon wasn't satisfied and continued the fight with me, I had a Vorpal sword at the time and as a last desperate measure called a shot to cut it's head off before I hit the ground. I rolled a natural 20 and confirmed it with another natural 20! Thus, the dragon's head was severed from it's body and a round later I splatted to the ground ending my adventure on that note. Was probably the most cinematic scene from my perspective and I wasn't even sad my character died. We started a new adventure with a new character the next night.So, in this poll I'm putting together a few options:1) You love them and allow them in your games RAW2) You hate them and never allow them3) You like them, but tweak them (house-ruled)4) You use a table from somewhere to determine the actual "called shot"5) "Other," in which case please explain</blockquote>
