[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 4477906, member: 13703"] One of the players in my group is reknown for his poor dice rolling. Switching dice doesn't seem to help him either. He seems to have the ability to roll low with any die! There are times when he does manage to roll ok. However, it seems that whenever there is a critical dice roll to be made he will fail. He is also the player that cops some of the best (or worst, depending on your perspective) of my rolls as DM. His PC has the highest AC in the group by a reasonable margin, yet I still seem to hit him about as often as the rest of the PC's. In one combat I managed to take him from full hit points to negatives in the surprise round! He copped a critical hit from a rapier from one baddie, while the other one hit him with a sneak attack. Just 2 sessions ago I managed to confirm a halberd attack on his PC with a 20 to hit and a 19 to confirm. Luckily for him I rolled low on my damage as he could have gone from full hit points to dead due to the 3d10+18 damage he was dealt. The player in question takes it all in his stride though. He never seems to get frustrated with his rolls. He just laughs at his horrible luck. I think the other players get more frustrated than he does. :) Despite his bad luck I am still to kill his character in the 2 years we have been playing. He has come close quite a few times though.
