The title says it all.
I believe that no matter how good at something you are and no matter how many times a day you do it, things happen that are out of your control. Someone may drive to work everyday with no problems what so ever but one day another driver plows into you and causes you to wreck. Now your level of driving had nothing to do with this, an outside force, that you couldn't control, came into play and caused you to wreck. I know that a 20 sided doesn't give you a very real percentage chance when it comes to failing at things but it's all we have at the moment.
I have always liked the fact that failing on a natural 1 resulted in something that happened due to an outside force, or maybe just a slip up on your part.
- Yes: You believe that nothing requiring a roll in D&D Next should ever be automatic except for a natural 20 and that the rolling of a natural 1 always results in a miss or failure.
- No: You believe there comes a point where something that once required a roll could eventually just happen automatically.
- Other: Give us an opinion on this in your own words.
