[QUOTE="zztong, post: 7500448, member: 6943414"] The DM's rolls were not visible to me. I only saw the results. There were crits every round; sometimes there were 2 Crits from 3 attacks. It would be unlikely that it was always the first attack. He didn't have a reason to fudge against the PCs. It sounds like he wasn't using a -5 penalty for a second attack, etc. He's asked me to help keep an eye on the rules since they're changing quickly and this is a busy time of year for him. My time is limited too, so I've not been reading up on the critters in the adventures. I've not even glanced at the bestiary. We spend a lot of time assisting newer players. EDIT: I asked the DM (via chat) and he said he was applying the -5 penalty. And that he rolled multiple 20's in that fight. Knowing that we were getting clobbered, I'm surprised he didn't fudge in favor, but perhaps because it was a playtest he wanted to see how things turn out. We had not seen the dying rules in play up to that point. [/QUOTE]
