Message: <blockquote data-quote="Li Shenron" data-source="post: 440352" data-attributes="member: 1465">I agree completely.We still use, for simplicity, the rules as written in the PHB: automatic hits and misses ONLY for attack rolls, and item damage on a ST natural 1. Until we see a definitive official errata, we won't apply natural 1/20 to any other things; it's not we dislike the idea, but only we have decided for a policy to adhere only to what is 100% official (and FAQs are only 99%), even if the online community already knows that something is going to be changed.On the other hand, I personally don't love the rule at all, while I have found the open-ended roll the best idea I have ever read, and one of the next variants that we'll use in the future.I especially dislike the automatic hits, you can still have 5% chance of hitting a "fine" supernatural flying bug (to whom someone has cast Mage Armor + other AC buffing spells), moving at the speed of light, hiding behind a 9/10 cover, at the end of your bow range, even if your Dex dropped to 1 for some reason...</blockquote>
