[QUOTE="JacktheRabbit, post: 7212320, member: 525"] I use it purely within context of the situation. Swing at an enemy and roll a 1, no big deal, you missed. Swing at an enemy while dueling on a narrow catwalk, you better make an acrobatics check or slip. Also use them for humor in the same context. Session before last the party was attacked by an owlbear that wanted to eat the horses of their stagecoach. The party wizard that was driving the coach (the actual driver had died) decided to reach down and one in each hand shoot the owlbear with the coach drivers flintlock pistols (which the character did not have proficiency in). He rolled double ones. No one in their right mind would just say "you missed twice" and move on. Combat was interrupted by a good 5 minutes of laughter has the wizard shot and killed two of the horses he was trying to protect. Oh, and as follow up, the next round he decided enough WASNT enough and picked up the coach drivers blunderbuss and rolled a third one in a row. He hit the barbarian going toe to toe with the owlbear in the back, though he didnt kill him. On the plus side he can say he has never missed when using a firearm. [/QUOTE]
