[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3607158, member: 4134"] I have some of those to tell: Good Luck: DM: "Oooh, that vorpal blade hits you. By our rules, while that doesn't kill you outright, it's like a coup de gras, and now you'll have to make a *rolls dice* DC 56 fort save or die" Player: "Ouch, I'll have to roll a natural 20 for this." *rolls natural 20* Then there was the instance where I managed to make a critical hit against the Big T. That was my first crit in ages. The character was a dwarven cleric with a greathammer (crit x4) under the influence of Divine Power and Giant Size (I endet up doing 32d6+200 points of damage or something, and we dropped the Tarrasque in one round) Bad Luck: I managed to roll two natural ones in a row, not once, but twice, each time when it counted: First against some spell, then because of massive damage. The second time I rolled the die again just to see what I'd have gotten - and it was another 1. And then there was the legendary Zed Kobb. It was a decent character on the sheet, and the player didn't do anything stupid, but he always had the worst of luck, getting beaten up by some mooks he was trying to rob and stuff like that. He tried, on several attempts, to take his own life (the player was really fed up), and when the DM took pity, and asked for a ref save against the Cosmic Flash of Death (1000 points of damage, Ref DC 100 half), he rolled a natural 20, and together with evasion survived that thing unscathed.
