[QUOTE="Galethorn, post: 3460404, member: 7888"] So, my character, one of three Jedi Knights sent on a mission to find a missing Padawan, fought his way into an enemy installation. We made it to the hangar on the far side of the base, where we met the BBEG for the first time. He's in the doorway of his ship, with a bomb. He throws the bomb down, laughs at us, and lets a Droideka roll in as he flies away. My character walks up to the Droideka and attacks. I rolled a 20. I rolled to confirm. 20. I rolled a third time. 20. I stabbed my saber right through its shield and made it explode right then and there. The more technically inclined Jedi party member decides he can't defuse the bomb. I declare that I'm going to throw it out the hangar door with Move Object. I rolled another 20. Yes, I rolled four twenties. In a row. That can only happen, statistically, one in 160,000 times. That's right, 1:160,000 odds. It was so staggeringly fortuitous an event that the GM didn't seem to mind me one-hitting the boss enemy.
