Party is accosted by a group of knights, things are said by both sides, and blades are drawn. The Paladin of the opposing group charges at me with his sword. I say to the DM "I spur my horse forward, raise my shield, and I'm aiming my sword for his neck". It's the first ever called shot by anyone in the group (we'd only been playing a few months at this time). The DM pauses while trying to figure out what the modifier on my attack roll should be for a called shot. He and another player start discussing it and looking through rule books. I ask him if I could roll my attack in front of the others while he was deciding. He allowed it (4 other players witnessed).A natural 20. I sat there with a grin on my face, as our group followed the Nat20 always hits rule faithfully. 5 minutes later the DM looks up and says, "Okay, -8 to your attack roll to aim for his neck". I smiled and said, "That's fine. It doesn't matter. I rolled a natural 20."The look on his face was priceless. The rest of the table, having waited patiently, high-fived me and there was much rejoicing as we handily routed the rest of the knights after that one roll.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
