I built my own poker/DnD table that has deep felted pockets for dice rolling (and a long concave tray to hold your idle dice). Dice are rerolled if they: leave the pocket, hit other dice in the pocket (if any), or are cocked.The group found themselves up against a male old shadow dragon, his half kir-lanan/half dragon Ftr11 daughter and three Ftr9 kir-lanans. The group was struggling with this encounter but nothing silly was happening, everyone was taking decent hits across the board.On the 3rd round the monk decided to stay next to the dragon to take advantage of Full Attack on round 4 (he had been pussing out up until this point with spring attack). The dragon decided to go for the unarmored pink squishy thing... I rolled a 20 when the dragon bit him and confirmed it when I rolled a 17 (4d8+16 dmg). I rolled a 20 for the left claw, confirmed with a 15 (4d6+8). I rolled a 20 for the right claw, confirmed with a 16 (4d6+8). Rolling a 16, I simply hit with the left wing (1d8+4). I rolled a 20 for the right wing, confirmed with an 18 (2d8+8). The next roll, was a 20 as well but it hit one of the d8's that was in the pocket. My last roll for the tail slap was a 19 (2d6+12).I couldn't contain my excitement for rolling like that and my players couldn't contain their anguish; however, the monk did not die. In fact, they survived the encounter without a single PC death.I've been gaming for 13 years now and I've never seen a string of rolls like that. I was wondering if anyone else here had a similar story.None of us will certainly forget the old shadow dragon that criticalled four out of six times. And almost criticalled for five times.-Telor</blockquote>
