I have a few that I will only use when I'm the DM, because I know the DM knows I'm not using them to cheat.My wife is fond of this recipe.

It will take you in unexpected, exciting directions. If your party absolutely needs the loyalty of a noble and you botch that persuasion check, the story is now going down a new path. Suddenly you have a new enemy to deal with, or need to figure out how you're going to proceed without that ally you were counting on.Yes, it's annoying when you go a whole fight without landing a single attack, or when you nat 1 a skill check you've got a +11 or so. But that's what makes a critical attack, achieving that near-impossible feat, so exciting. The person I used to play with that cheated constantly always sounded so bored and perfunctory when he announced a critical.</blockquote>
