(Humor thread) What characters have d20's with only 20s.

[Evenglare]

So there's this other thread about ordering a d20 with only 20s... I thought it was amusing to think of a character who only would roll 20s (okay so maybe the die has 19 sides of 20, and one side with a 1). So far I have come up with ...

Goku
Buu
Cloud (from advent children)
Avatar Aang (in avatar mode)
Legolas
Gandalf (maybe?)


Anyway anyone have any other contributions?

It has been a long time since I picked up one of the books, but isn't Drizzt a complete 'Mary Sue' character in later books? I can't imagine him ever doing anything that was not an absolute success. Then again, my memory might be harsh, as I remember those books as reading like self-insertion fan fiction.

Generally speaking authors of all types should be pretty ashamed to have any character with loaded dice that only roll 20s.

Wesley Crusher
Phoenix/jean grey
Wolervine
Dr. Gaius Baltar (maybe - memory could be failing me on this one)
Captain James T Kirk (as portrayed by shatner)

I disagree with your choices, as the character's you've chosen are powerful and not lucky, but I'll add mine:

Saka (from Avatar the Last Airbender): The rest of the party has like +20 to all their rolls and phenomenal spellcasting cosmic power. Saka is a normal human but his player always throws 20's.
Yugi Mutou: Topdecking cheater.
Wolverine: He's not actually that powerful of a character. But because he's such fan favorite, he basically isn't allowed to lose, even when facing off a against a character that would give a being like Superman real trouble. He always throws 20's.
Biblo Baggins: Like many of the characters that might make this list, it's not merely that he throws 20's, but that the universe has been ordered such that the 20's are preordained since the beginning of time. Bilbo was meant to throw that 20. And that one. And that one. And that one.
Every character played by Jackie Chan: All the non 20's are left on the cutting room floor (or sent to the out takes).
Batman, Spiderman, Daredevil, most 'crime fighting' super heroes: Lampshaded in the movie 'Unbreakable'. Batman is supposed to not have a superpower, but have you ever tried to actually be where a crime was going to occur. If you actually went out trying to find someone getting mugged, you could pretty much spend every night and never find it actually happening. Even if you were a super hero with the power to beat up everyone, it wouldn't be of any use to you. Yet Batman always happens to be right there, every night.

First off... Sokka. Sorry.

Anyway, i choose my characters based on landing hits, and saves, such as reflex saves. I don't really know what luck has to do with anything considering the whole premise is that everyone succeeds on pretty much everything they do. (However sometimes they do not which is why I added the disclaimer of one 1, and 19 20s...). Anyway, i'm making a master list, and I'll definitly add yours to there. I agree most super heroes roll 20 all the time.

Yes, but in D&D there are two ways to succeed at pretty much everything you do.

You either have a '+19 bonus' to everything you do, or you roll a 20.

Avatar Aang doesn't need to throw 20's. He's got godlike powers, the accumulated bending ability of his hundreds of past lives. He can reshape continents, bend the ocean, and fight erupting volcanos. So when we see Aang succeeding, generally we do not feel like he threw a 20. Success is expected for Aang especially in Avatar mode because he's got like +29 to everything.

Sokka on the other hand as the comic relief is sufficiently clumsy to make us suspect that he may have below average dexterity, yet he's capable of throwing a boomerang more than one hundred yards and hitting a guy between his forehead. That is throwing a 20. And he does things like that all the time.

Well at one point he single-handedly killed 13 frost giants (wulfgar got 12).

Given that Frost giants have always been a fairly high level monster, and Drizzt barely seemed winded by it, I've always assumed he was at least level 20.

So yeah, Mary Sue. To the max.

we obviously have different ways of looking at things. I'm sorry you don't agree with me, this is supposed to be a fun thread so I'm not even going to get into it anymore.
