10-02-06, 04:08 PM You know thoes days where nothing seems to go your way? When the BBEG double crits you and you fumble? Post em here!

Last session I had the worst game ever. I Critted 3 times in the entire session. 2 were with rays on enfeeblement, thus doing nothing. The last time I was hiding in the bushes and Firebolted this horseman that was trying to kill me. Turned out to be my old swordmaster and he was on my side.

Also the BBEG Crited me causing me to lose my throne. Well I had already lost it but it stopped me from retaking it.

10-02-06, 04:49 PM We add just defeated a green dragon, and were heading back to town to fetch a cart to hual the loote with. there was one last obstickle. the green dragon, had employed a minitar to guard its cave. We had talked our way around it the first time through. Now we decided in game to drive it off as well. Of game we wanted to farm it for XP. Anyway long story short the thing scores a critical on me, with its great axe, and knocks me from full to -10.

10-02-06, 08:13 PM For my latest character, I decided to play as a Paladin. (I had already talked with the DM, and knew that we had basicly the same ideas about what a "Good" paladin is)

For stats, well, you could say I rolled well. It was a 32 point buy equivilant. A +4 stat (18), three +1 stats, one +0 stat, and a -2 stat.

The 18 went into Cha, for the class skills. The rest of the choices were harder. The -2 went into Dex, since he would eventually be using Full Plate. Str, Wis, and Int got the +1 stats. Which left Con for the +0.

Upon reaching 2nd level, I then rolled a 1 for new hitpoints. And another 1 at third level.

Level 3 Paladin, HP: 12.

Oh, and completely fearless.

10-03-06, 12:44 PM Two weeks ago six consecutive natural ones were rolled in the middle of a combat, different die and different player each roll.

You can all rest easy. That's not due to happen again for quite a while.

10-03-06, 03:41 PM Was trying to get some NPCs to surrender in the last game i played, but since they were casting spells I took an abritrary swipe at one. Didn't try for subdual damage because I was already at +0 to hit, but natural 20+confirm+1st level sorc on receiving end=16 damage=dead NPC.

While trying to avoid several nasty assasin vines players tries to climb onto some crates. Simply jump check.... 4 natural ones later he is lying on the floor with two cracked shinbones.
