It usually always hits (or at least has a minor effect in case of a miss).If you wish, you can assume every character has a "free natural 20", which he can use with his daily powers.Narratively, it takes randomness and puts it in the hands of a player, so that he can spare his big deals for when he really needs them to perform them, just like in movies and novels.In Karate Kid, the protagonist used the crane stance just once, when he really needed it, and it worked. In Kill Bill the "heart breaking move" was used just once, the Bride didn't go around using it to kill everyone from the beginning of the movie. Ans so on.Let's assume that you swing your sword 100 times in a tipical D&D day for semplicity's sake. You could devise a system where daily powers work with a 00 in a d100 roll. Statistically, they would be nearly equivalent. But would this be more fun? Would you ever try a power that fails 99% of the times?</blockquote>
