Message: <blockquote data-quote="MarauderX" data-source="post: 1311703" data-attributes="member: 9990">I roll poorly.  Often.  I mean, enough to miss about 5 saves before getting one character croaked.  I think I have killed 5 PCs since playing 3.0, mostly due to failed saves (4/5).  It happens, I play more reserved because of it usually, but sometimes I gotta get a piece of the action - and die.  Consequently, players love me as a DM who builds a great battle only to have the BBEG miss the PCs 4-5 times in a row, or roll low on damage.  My past players have also had the misfortune of me factoring in my low rolls only to have them give way to a slew of high ones at the worst moments for them.  With my old OD&D group, once they saw how I was rolling in a battle used to guage whether the fight was too tough or not, and sometimes would retreat to try again some other time.  Amazingly enough anytime I play a cleric he survives and usually controls the battlefield (after healing fallen fighters, the tide of the battle usually centers around you).  I had about 10 different sets of dice that I have purchased just in case.  It's not like I'm cursed or anything...
