Most incredible dice roll ever

[Pheonix]

I just have to share this story.
The other day, I was playing a one-shot as an illithid necromancer. I was in a battle-a big one, between my pawns and some villagers I was trying to take over-and an NPC hit me pretty badly, knocking me down to single-digit hit points, so I plane shifted out. At this point, the overall battle was still going pretty well, so I decided to come back, only to aim for the rear of my forces, where I would be out of the fray.
Well, with plane shift, you always miss by 5d100 miles. So I announced I was aiming for a point 250 miles away. After all, it was just a one-shot, and what the hey.
I rolled exactly 250.
The DM rolled for angle. I dunno what he rolled, but it came out exactly on top of where I wanted to be.
That was the most amazing die roll I have ever seen.
I just thought I would share this with you.

I think I can beat that.

We were gaming last night, Rappun Athuk, and since the party was chewing through just about everything so far, I decided to throw a purple worm at them. Swallowed the monk, and he was a round from dying, and the beast had 51 hit points left.

This was it. Only the Fighter was up next before the Purple Worm. One shot.

"I need a 20 now more than ever! Come on!!"

He rolled.

It came up 20.

The hooting and the hollering! Then he rolled again, hit the target AC, and did a whopping 58 points of damage.

It was SICK.

This may not top what you did, but still was unbelievably amazing. My Barbarian/cleric(Kord) and friend's fighter/sorc were fighting 5 fairly high level dark elf warriors. It wasn't going very well for us, with both of us unconcious at one point or another, and the battle had taken about 4 hours RL time.

By that point we'd dropped 3 of them, but both of us were in the single didgets. I fumbled an attack, and used my re-roll domain ability to make another attack, while my buddy starts chanting "crit, crit, crit" I close my eyes and roll, to hear a WOOT from my friend. I'd crited. We repeat the same technique for the confirm (eyes closed and friend chanting). I critted again. Needless to say mr. dark elf was blueberry jam on the walls.

I then ask "Hey, is the other dark elf within 5 feet of the first one?" For my cleave attack, I get another crit. I didn't crit the confirm, but there was another dark elf splatered on the wall.

3 crits in a row, that saved our rears (I'd think there was cheating, but it was much to quick for anyone to mess with my dice)

I hear that.

in a campaign a few months (?... hmm, okay call it 1 1/2 years ago actually) ago my Elven Rogue had tried to sneak up a tower. My climb was kinda low so I was using pitons to help out. Suffice to say I was heard, and the Halfling Rogue NPC waited until I was at the top to shoot me. Aghhh, that hurt. Now for the good roll part. Knowing I couldn't afford a drawn out battle, I Bullrushed him across a two-by-four, rolled two 20's (one for the balance check, one for the bullrush-and I needed it cuase he had a 16 str... I had 11) shoved him 15' off the tower to fall to his death... he-he.

Later in the courtyard we battled the EVIL Cleric and his minions, I was blinded (Damn blind spells). Well I declared "I am shooting for where he was", rolled two twenties followed by a 99%. Suffice to say I had little to no luck the rest of the campiagn (except for Reflexe saves... of course I had a really high number).


Hehehe... Oh yeah still that day, in the bowels of the EVIL Clerics Keep I was being led (still blind) by the Wizard of the party. My hand was running down the wall and I found a secret-door (yup even blinded-of course I didn't roll it the DM did, but I still count it). I said sure I'll open it (made the next roll-still blinded- at a minus 10) then rolled a 20 versus the FireTrap... the mage of course failed... He was hit by so many traps I accidently triggered it was a running joke... of course it wasn't very funny when the DeathTrap got him in the end...

As a DM, I've seen something like that on one of my sessions a long time ago.

Here's what happened. The players gets captured breaking in the caliph's harem (long story) and are (of course) sentenced to death. But first, a healthy litle dose of torture. Well, one of the players tries to wriggle out of the chains and rolls a 20 on his strength check. The buffed torturer sees this and tries to stop him rolls a 1 and looses his dagger... right into the free hand of the fortunate player! With this he rolls a critical (a 19 or 20, dont remember), does a whole lot of damage and stabs the torturer to death! Ok, this causes a lot of noise and soon the guards come running. Well, guess what, the player rolls another natural 20 Str check and frees himself from chains. He then frees the others and they run off... and actually escape. What are the odds!!?

 

[Savage Wombat]

I run him casually through the throat.

I've got one, but it's a Rolemaster story... please forgive me.

One character, off on a side quest, comes to our party's aid just as the orcish warlord comes riding out.

The character announces, with much bravado, "I run him casually through the throat."

Rolling his attack with his rapier, he rolls percentiles - a natural 100.

Now, in rolemaster (at least at the time) a critical hit such as that (96-00, I think) lets you roll again and add the results together.

Next roll - 98.
Next roll - 96.
Next roll - 99.
I forget the next roll, but it wasn't a crit. But with his skill added in, that's well over 400 - and the hit table maxed out well before that.

So now he gets to roll on the piercing critical table - another percentile roll, this one unmodified.

Naturall 100.

The GM starts to read the crit description - Rolemaster crits are very graphic, and usually humorous. Something about cutting the foe's heart out, I think.

"No," says the player, "I run him casually through the throat."

"Just let me read this here," says the GM.

"No, I run him casually through the throat."

"But..."

"No," the group as a whole choruses, "he runs him casually through the throat."

"Fine," says the GM. "You run him casually through the throat, and without a sound, he slides slowly off his warg mount. All fighting stops, and everyone stares in awe. The orcs surrender en masse."

What can diceless roleplaying have to compare with that?

 

[Berandor]

A wizard of mine (good old 2E) got caught by a Giant Scorpion and needed to get out. As a wizard from Nimbral, I had only d3 HD and no Con modifier.

I had exactly 1 hp left, and my meager strength left me with a 1% chance to bend bars - thereby escaping...

Well, my fellow players all looked sadly at me and my demised character, but I refused to lose hope.
I rolled - 01!

Yeah!

Of course, I also missed my 98% chance to resurrection later on

This was in d10 (classis) Legend of the Five Rings. I (a berserker) through many a glorious battle previously, was the leader of the Crab army at Beiden Pass. We were prepared to blow the opposing army out of the water, we had archers lining the pass, a larger force, and a whole legion of berserkers. At the beginning of the battle, an enemy commander rode over to taunt us into surrendering. I called his bluff, and gave him a few insults of my own. He challenged me to a duel, and I cut in half both him and his horse in a single blow. That's always good for morale.

As the battle began, our army was in good shape. We brought down a few legions of theirs with minimal losses. When they finally brought in their heavy calvary, we filled the pass with our troops and ordered the archers to fire. The archers did so, but on OUR army. I suspected treachery, but there was no time to falter. My army was breaking up, so I had to immediately bolster them. I (the general) hopped off my horse, unsheathed my no-dachi, and made a charge into the midst of the enemy, hacking down dozens of crane. i then rolled my Battle skill, which is a single open-ended d10, adding 6. I rolled an 87. This single-handedly turned the tide for my army, and I became a living legend in less than a minute.

[jollyninja]

so it's back in the 2e days right (this will help explain some things) and our little group of adventurers which consisted of a dragonslayer (only ever managed to find 2) paladin, undead hunter paladin, judge (dm's variant paladin), martial artist style fighter, a barbarian fighter, and a 1e style bard. we have been cleaning out a lair packed with all kinds of undead with a large percentage of mummies. none of us have ever seen stats for the "main boss" of the dungeon but we know that it's something called a "greater mummy" so we are pumped about fighting this new thing. we enter it's burial chamber, all of us miss our saving throws and are paralised with fear except the undead slayer who proceeds to win initiative. he and the mummy are standing toe to toe and the undead slayer rolls for both of his attacks (two weapon fighter, both katanas one was a sun blade), criticals on both of them (remember, it's 2e) and then rolls maximum damage on both of them. the greater mummy turns to dust, we all loot it's tomb and go home. the dm's face was so red we all had to laugh a bit.

As long as we're sharing...

SW RPG (WEG) story... keeping it short }

Pick up the unconcious Jedi's recently refound lightsabre against the main nasty guy we'd been battling through two movies and three TV specials (this was the third film, major, major climactic thing). Main nasty dude is in power armour. I'm not a Jedi.

1) Manage to hit said nasty dude and not cut off my own head. This was a good roll. }

2) 8d6+1 for damage: 6 6 6 6 6 5 4 4

After armour, body, and everything else, there was still some 22+ points of damage left.

Cleaved the bad dude in half. Ahh.

My quote as I stared in disbelief at my dice: "Oh my god, look at all the sixes."

(Too bad I didn't catch the expression of the GM }
