Message: <blockquote data-quote="WayneLigon" data-source="post: 567715" data-attributes="member: 3649">Two things off the top of my head, one as a player, one as a DM.We were running a house rule for massive criticals, back when we were playing 2E. The rule was: if you roll a natural '20', then roll again. If you hit at your normal to hit chance, you do double damage. Now, keep rolling and do damage for each time you make the roll. Not really as easy as it sounds like, either. Most people would manage two or three rolls, then fail. We're beat up, hurting, right near the end of a massive adventure when we come into the last chamber and we find an adult black dragon. We're all like 5-7th level, so we're just flabbergasted. No way we can beat this thing. So my character, an elven rogue, decides that if he's going to die, by God he's going in style. I use a ring of Jumping to leap onto the things head, and stab it in the top of the skull. I roll a '20'.Followed by more than 15 straight rolls to actually hit it.Upshot of this is: the elf leaps up, brandishes his sword and drives it down through the top of the dragon's head, coming out the bottom side. It falls down, dead dead dead.    =================As a GM: we're playing Champions, and we're just about to the big fight scene. It's raining like hell outside, but so far no thunder. Then I start hearing soft thunder and seeing lightning flashes out the back window. I start counting, and the storm is getting closer, faster. They finally burst open the main base doors and confront the Evil Villain. I manage to somehow time the thing perfectly. I see a large lightning flash, then I stand up from behind the screen and clench my fist in front of me, acting as the mad villain. "FOOLS! NO-ONE defies VIPER! Doom upon you all!"Massive peel of thunder, so loud it shakes the windows. Lights flicker off for a second, then another massive crack of thunder right behind it. They all just STARED at me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> "We give up."</blockquote>
