the Jester
Legend
Oh yeah.
I remember in the 1e days, one of my players had a three natural 20's in a row moment when the party looked to be having a tpk.
This from a fighter whose whole schtick was, "I will not take a life."
Awesome.
Just yesterday, the party imc was storming this cult dungeon and the master vampire that was the bad guys' leader was about to escape (25 hps left, insubstantial and flying 12- and one square away from being out of sight at the top of a 50' deep pit that the pcs had to descend to enter the dungeon).
The last pc to go before the vampire burned his action point to get there and cast a fireball up at the vampire. I'm thinking, "Hah! He's going to get away!"
CRIT... 53 damage.
Aargh, that becomes 26.
This, of course, right after two other pcs crit the solamith demon and kill it.
