[QUOTE="meomwt, post: 3462945, member: 47885"] Running a 2e game, the players had been hired by a Copper Dragon to kill a Red Dragon who was territory snatching. They'd located an Arrow of Dragon Slaying (rare to the point of Artifact in my game :D ) and were prepping for a fight. The only person with the skill to use the bow was a fighter, played by a guy who had a charge sheet as long as your arm for rolling badly. Heck, people didn't want to sit next to him in case his bad luck floated over to them. So, he's got a magical Arrow, a Magical Bow, Gloves of Marksmanship: the Bow has been Blessed by a Druid for one shot only, and I think there were a couple of other Buffs running from the PC's (Bless, etc.). The Red Dragon is fighting an aerial combat with the Copper Dragon, and an Illusion of a Crystal Dragon the party's Illusionist/Thief whipped up. So, my unlucky player takes aim. He gets one shot only. With all the buffs and his THAC0, I think he needed only about a 4 to hit. Dice rolls. Breath is held around the table. Staring up at everyone is a 20. The Arrow of Dragon Slaying smacks into Red Dragon right between the eyes, and she Ages to death in seconds. All that was left was bone and dust. That roll was about ten years ago, and it still gets brought up in conversation. After that, his normal run of poor rolls continued. [/QUOTE]
