[QUOTE="RigaMortus2, post: 2989186, member: 11586"] Natural "x" - Such as rolling a Natural 20, but the x can be any number on the die. When the DM asked a certain player what he rolled, he would always say Natural "whatever" even if it wasn't a Nat 20 or Nat 1. He'd say "Natural 18" and so forth. Then once he added his pluses and such, we called them: Unnatural "x" - A modified die roll (usually an attack roll). Rolling an 18 on a d20 (would be a Natural 18, see above). When they add in BAB and Str into the equation, assume the sum of the roll is a 24. That would be an Unnatural 24 :-) Ogre's are tactical - Again, the same player once played an Ogre PC (out of Savage Species). Well this player would always run his characters the same, he was all "self preservation". So once his HPs started to drop, he would try and get away from combat (rather than wait for the Cleric to heal him). So we made fun of him saying he was "cowardly". Well, when he played his Ogre character (and did the same "cowardly" move) he tried to justify it by saying that it was a "tactical withdraw" and that "Ogres are known to be tactical" (where he got this I have no idea). So whenever someone tries to justify fleeing, we say "Ogres are tactical". Critical success - Rolling a Natural 20 on a skill check. I critically succeed at spotting (whether they beat the DC or not). Critical failure - Rolling a Natural 1 on a skill check. I critically fail at spotting (even if the total bonuses still beat the target DC). [/QUOTE]
