[QUOTE="Buttercup, post: 1258948, member: 990"] In [url=http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=56789&page=1&pp=25]this thread[/url] people are talking about the degree to which they are realistic and vivid in their descriptions of combat, and it got me thinking about another time when I try to be creative in my descriptions. That is, when players or monsters have critical failures. So can we come up with a list of tragic and horrible accidents that happen when someone rolls a 1?
