[QUOTE="Raflar, post: 4220933, member: 1514"] I was playing a Halfling Sorcerer (blaster type) and we were in a tavern when 2 heavily armed (and armoured) elves came to take one of our party members away (female elven ranger). I jump up on the table and yell "Hey pick on someone your own size!" and cast 2 Minor Electrical Orbs (3.0 D&D) while flipping (tumbling) in the air.. I rolled a 20 for the tumble through the air, then something really low for my landing and promply rolled two 1s for my ranged touch attack. DM ruled that I slipped and they both exploded in my face... roll for damage - almost max! One of the elves scoops me up and slams me on the table (facing up), and while he gets distracted by the other party members I fire off 2 more electrical orbs and roll two 1s AGAIN. DM ruled that the orbs went on either side of the elf's head and blasted 2 holes in the thatched roof above... roll for damage.... of course I roll MAX damage... we eventually scare off the elves (well maybe not my character so much) and I'm forced to repair the roof and scrub the floor.... I think I rolled more 1s and 20s with that character than any other combined... strange... [/QUOTE]
