Funniest Home Dice Rolls

[STARP_JVP]

Embarrasing dice rolls. Times you really needed to roll high, rolled low, and were laughed off the gaming table.

Picture:

• Drinking contest.
• Very light ale
• Just trying to socialise with patrons to gather information.
• My Constitution: 12
• DM: If you fail, you fall unconcious. DC will increase the more drinks you have.
• Me: OK.
• DM: First drink = the DC is 5.
• Me: OK.
• My dice roll: 3. My score = 4.
• Fall on table, unconcious.
• Other players: reaction best left unrecorded.

does your DM drink at all? DC should be 0! and the only time I've fallen unconcious was from a bottle of scotch... still managed to find myself outside my house mid stride walking down the street... I woke up walking...

a light social drink should only knock you out if its poisoned. Heavy drinking has a alcohol poisoning issue for DC's... this just sounds like... well I dont like saying this, but bad knowledge of a light drink.

Is your PC diabetic?

I suspect my DM was just trying to get up my nose.

Uh, I don't think this counts, strictly speaking, but one time I needed to literally roll lower than I did.

Because well, it bounced far too high. . . and into the GM's coffee.



That probably qualifies as my most embarassing roll ever.

 

[STARP_JVP]

Maybe the coffee helped. Maybe the dice got hyperactive on caffeine? What? Why are you staring at me like that...?

I had a D10 roll that balanced on its, slightly flattened tip. The DM photographed it for posterity...

This was not D&D, and it was not really a bad roll, but it was fun and dice related so I'll post it anway. During a game of monopoly a friend of mine rolled his dice using some awkward kind of rotating and spinning motion with his wrist, imagine using a screwdriver and throwing a baseball at the same time. This worked very well until this player, in a flash of genius, decided to not just pretend to throw a baseball with his arm, but to use his whole body. Of course, he lost his balance and fell backwards in a very violent motion.

Needless to say, the dice threw him.

In a moment of pure childishness, our group decided to roll d12's during the character creation process.
Around the table it goes: ELEVEN... TEN... TWELVE... and then it came to my big beefy fighter's turn:

one

If you ever thought that one juvenile dice roll could not totally stain a character for their playing career, I am here to say you're wrong! Anyone who says that the dice don't matter, and that you shouldn't feel like less of a man... just you tell poor Arrek. Couldn't even hold his own when it came to the party mage at the privy out the back of the tavern. And as for the huge Fullblade Arrek carried around. Well hey, we all know what that was compensating for.
Sheesh!

I had a player who was so bad with rolling Spot checks that we figured he was just blind and didn't realize it.

The first few times were hilarious...rolling a 1 on Spot, when everyone else gets 18s and such. They see everything, he can't find his hand. Amazingly enough, he was the only character to actually survive in the end. Proof that what you don't know can't, in fact, hurt you.

Heh- same here last month. d8 sat on its tip. Couldn't locate the camera to shot it. I doubt we could set it by hand to make it do that.

I keep a record of worst rolls / best rolls. Tom back in 1997 rolled three 1's to attack and a 20 when he needed a 1 and a 1 for a final attack. 5 worst case rolls in a row. It was amazing. Three 20's for attacks are the best. Two of these were confirmed crits with 19's.
