[QUOTE="DungeonmasterCal, post: 3461917, member: 5388"] This happened in a 1e game, in a campaign that seemed famous for cliffhanger endings, knucklebiting combat encounters, and random dumb luck. There are over a half dozen stories where an amazing die roll saved the character, the situation, or completely ruined the DM's plans. One of my favorites was when playing my anti-paladin (1e NPC only...whatever), and my character and two others had been transported into the Nine Hells to steal a certain gem from a treasure horde belonging to Asmodeus. Asleep across the entrance to the cave was a huge, ancient red dragon. After much arguing and planning, my character just gets up and strides toward the dragon. The 1e anti-paladin had an innate [I]charm[/I] ability, so I slammed my hand on its snout, shouting, "Great Lord of the Skies, I come before you and beseech you that you grant us access to the cavern!" The DM started laughing, then rolled the d20 for the dragon's save. The dragon saved on a 2, and he rolled a one. The dragon stepped aside and allowed us to stroll right in. That's the only time I ever saw a Gamescience High Impact d20 shatter when thrown against a wall, too. [/QUOTE]
