[QUOTE="Kid Charlemagne, post: 3425963, member: 93"] 00 really isn't that rare... Bet one I can recall involved an NPC named Kirk in an old 1E game. We used the Rolemaster crit charts in that game (and actually used crit threats and confirmation rolls, 14 years before 3E - the confirmation rolls got added largely as a result of this particular incident). We were escaping from a castle donjon after rescuing someone from imprisonment, and almost got away scot-free before the guards found us. Kirk got the worst of it - he got hit with a natural 20, followed by a 00. I can't remember the exact effect, but it was bad. The DM gave him one round to take an action, and he swung back at the bad guy with his weapon, and rolled natural 20, followed by a 00! Chopped the bad guy clean in half before passing out. We drug him out of there and got him fixed up, and he had a long, memorable life for an NPC. Coincidentally, he also had an 18/00 strength.... :) [/QUOTE]
