Message: <blockquote data-quote="TwoSix" data-source="post: 6090830" data-attributes="member: 205">Had a guy in our game with a reputation for rolling poorly.  He dropped a fireball on 8 spectres, than had all 8 spectres fail their save.  Rolled some decent damage, too.  Then the DM remembered they were incorporeal, and thus had a 50% miss chance.  The DM had the player roll under the miss chance.  He rolled under 50% all 8 times.  Not incredibly unlikely (1 in 256), but watching the misses pile up made it hysterical.Next session, in the same necropolis, my character got grappled by a boneyard (Libris Mortis, I think.).  Anyway, the monster had some ability to liquify your bones and cause an instant-kill if he grappled you.  Last guy to go before the monster's initiative was this same wizard (of low-rolling fame).  He cast disintegrate.  Beat the monster's spell resistance (I believe he needed a 13 or better).  Than the monster failed its Fort save (It only need a 4).  Then he rolled a 102 on 22d6.  The monster had 101 HPs left.  Probability of getting >= 101 on 22d6 is 0.14%.  Probability of that spell working and saving my PC was 40% x 15% x 0.14% = 0.0084%, or 1 in 11,900.</blockquote>
