I was the one with the feather. That feather has claimed 6 more lives since I posted about it.
The feather of enemy smiting. Legendary magical item.
Have you rolled to check if itâs a magic item?
Killgorn , I just want to say that my antics pale, in comparison to yours. Adventure on, O mighty Featherer
Tell me the story of this feather and I shall ensure it goes down in history on this channel brother...
â@@BrianVaughnVA So, I am the DM, but the BBEG is the wielder of the feather. Whilst my siblings are in their first dungeon, I am making my all-powerful necromancer, but this world is a world that is custom made for no man, so I roll all of his attacks, diplomacy, spells, you get the picture. Hostile take over of the next town over, the necromancers are fighting the village guards. The BBEG has no weapon other than what his pet had once brought him, the feather. So, in order to not waste any spells, the BBEG strangles a man right in front of his dark-robed brothers. He then starts using spells, for the whole town was defending upon them. After killing most of the town's defence, the dark-robed mages captured three key figures. They were interrogated, then butchered with the feather. The feather became an arcane focus basically, for so much blood had been spilt with it that the necromantic energy took form into this chicken-like feather. The next few days of in-game time have past and this has happened to a band of templars (They are like the ones from Dragon Age). The next session is soon, and more blood will be spilt with Roland's Feather of the Fallen.

As the person with the Nat 20 sleeping rolls, I would like to also add that I proceeded to roll a 1 on the next night's watch. Fell asleep instantly.
Endan Drachon, I think you may have been the only person to ever come close to winning D&D
that's what i call commitment to the role
Sleeping rolls are a blast both for yourself and for the nemy! My favourite roll is sadly not a D&D but a small bit of homebrew WH40K where the GM wanted to bring in some WHFantasy elements, we are on a train travelling to plot point A, i'm playing a Psyker with only minor psyker abilities at the moment since we just started. Train gets attacked by bows, arrows and one giant minotaur charging at the train. Naturally my slightly suicidal PC goes onto the train in full view of this massive creature. And the only thing i got possible affecting it is essentially an aura of fear that works on anyone who sees me, so long as i succeed. Normally the minotaur would not be affected but... Crit, GM rules that double the effect and this huge monster skids to a halt, in snow and ice. Doing all it can to 180 and run the hell away. Slightly derailed the plot too since all the weapons, ammo, food, vehicles and such on the train was supposed to have been smashed at that moment, and as a bonus i nearly made one of my fellow PC's go insane from the fear effect. Ah, memories :)
@ oh god, i remember that, thanks for reminding me of that web comic, i've not read it in like a year. Pleeenty of pages now for me to enjoy :)
I canât help but think of your character staying asleep as the story of Jesus being asleep on the ship while all the disciples think theyâre about to drown
Oh, I have one of these, and it was hilarious. So, long story short, my party was in the middle of a forest, currently getting our collective asses kicked by an old priest whose mind had been corrupted by a shard of an evil mirror. The only way to cure it was to douse him in holy water, which none of us had despite getting several chances to purchase some earlier. My character, a tiefling witch, and another one, were a bit further away from the rest of the part having started to walk away before the encounter got ugly. Another character, our useless split-personality chaotic neutral barbarian was kinda just fucking around in the general area where the rest of the party was getting their asses kicked, and I'm pretty sure at that point, he had started climbing a tree trying to get away from the massacre. We all started panicking a bit, because it was starting to get pretty ugly.
That's when our chaotic, chronically useless barbarian gets the dumbest idea. He's going to Ask The Gods for holy water. The DM tells him that, well, he can try to ask, but there's literally no reason any gods would actually be paying attention to him one way or another, so he, completely convinced that there's no way this is going to work, decides to allow it. He tells the barbarian he can try to do a skill challenge in order to try get the attention of a god, and to convince the god to bless water for him. He had to pass three skill checks of his choice that would in some way help his desired outcome, all three with ridiculously high checks.
The DM was pretty much laughing at him at this point, but he wouldn't be laughing for long.
Our barbarian, being the force of chaos that he was, decides to do a religion check combined with a performance check to get the attention of a god, and some other skill for his third check. Reaching the top of the trees he was already climbing, the barbarian rolls for religion: rolls an 18. So far so good.
Then he rolls his performance check: nat 20.
At this moment, I can see the the DM's soul leave his physical form as his hand meets his forehead.
An athletics check of 19 rounds everything out, and our barbarian starts dancing on his hands on the top of the tree, jumping between branches as he prays and gets the attention of a trickster God with his absolutely ridiculous display. The DM is in complete disbelief.
My character and the other character standing with me are looking at this in absolute stupefaction.
Delighted with his performance, the trickster God decides to hear his plea, but seeing his chance, the DM gives his caveat: you need actual water for the god to bless it, which the barbarian didn't have on hand. So the barbarian, in his absolute chaotic splendor, says, "I'm going to pee. Can you bless my piss?"
The DM is projecting his soul in the astral plane. The empty husk left behind lays in the grave of his own digging. Standing on his hands on top of a tree, the barbarian starts to pee his newly holy piss from right where he's at. The DM has a last bit of defiance left and says "your performance of jumping between tree tops took you too far away from the priest for your /holy piss/ to reach him".
"I cast shape water" I say.
The DM is dead and gone. From the other side of the table, one of our party shouts "Shape it like a middle finger!"
Who am I to disagree?
Casting shape water, I hit the priest from the back with a huge middle finger made out of holy piss. Everyone cheers. The DM is shriveling away. The priest is healed, and our chronically useless barbarian now has holy piss and a connection to a trickster god. This is our moment of glory. It all comes back to the moment he rolled a nat 20 on his performance check, and his idea clicked into place.
It was glorious.

I laughed so hard. Thank you.
@@self_harem2125 I just remembered something one of my AD&D 3.5 Groups made once...
The Cleric had the Craft Wondrous Item Feat and made a Decanter of Endless Water (which requires the 4th Level Cleric Spell Control Water), BUT during the crafting process, he also added the 1st level Cleric Spell BLESS WATER to it turning it into a Decanter of Endless HOLY WATER...
We were in a Campaign World that had a rather severe Undead Infestation and we tended to put it on the ground and turn it on it's Geyser setting so we were ALWAYS fighting in a rain of Holy Water and when we had a particularly powerful Undead trying to kill us, the Barbarian with a 25 Strength just picked up the geyser and shoved it in the Undead's face...
Our DM had a WTF expression when the Cleric's Player told him exactly how this particular Decanter had been made...
đđđđ đđ€Ł
Beautiful. I died laughing inside
Long story short?
My friend wanted to practice his harmonica while we were in prison, and he made my friend roll. He got a nat 20. He didn't even have a harmonica and he was playing beautifully. With his hand. He wanted to do it again after we got out of prison, and he rolled another nat 20. He was able to use his hands to play a harmonica at any time until he died.

I totally had to stop after the "You Can't See Me" story and laugh for 5 solid minutes.
Bro straight up used a Jedi mind trick

A bit of a facepalm moment, my tiefling warlock was stopped by a water elemental guard and had to "show what I got" to get by.
I told the DM I would do the "detach thumb trick".
"Okay, roll slight of hand"
N20
That water elemental never seen anything better in its whole life!

Is what killed me.
Same.
Was playing this one game in high-school. One guy just kept getting shit rolls, so he threw his d20 into the dice roller in frustration. He miscalculated throw, so the d20 bounced right off the table and hit the DM square in the face. The die bounced back and landed on a 20.
This 20 certainly made the DM facepalm.
That dice gods were angry at the dm that's for sure lol.
if I was that Dm,... I would say "a massive d20 falls form the sky onto your enemies. it is crystaline and you can see through it, with whisps of light floating inside. roll for religion or history with disadvantage."
if they pass they realise it's a servant of an ancient god called Icosohedrox and basically I'd make them have a literall dice god there, standing, waiting for something. it'd literally be a massive land mark on the world forever,... waiting for something.
@@retosius7962 holy shit, that's fucking brilliant. Here, have my like.

What you're telling is that he rolled a 20 in the game... By rolling a 1 irl.

Playing a game where we had to infiltrate a party by either
a. Sneaking in
b. Winning a tournament
or c. Getting a job
I picked getting a job, so the dm asks standard questions untill he got to why I thought I would get the job, so I rolled a Nat 20 saying I was the only one there and the dm rolled a 2, ask the npc thought everyone else trying to get a job was a figment of his imagination.

My DM actually threw his own character in this session, mostly for fighting though. He rolled a nat 20 at the beginning of the fight on a dragon that he worked hard on. The damage was so high, that it triggered a crippled condition. It fought with half of it's body completely useless. My DM gave his own dragon a stroke by shooting him in the eye XD
Well at least he can play golf HAHAHAHAHA.....
I'll leave now
our bard seduced 2 tarasks... need I say more?
Was playing a gnome druid, wanted to slice a spider in half with my trident. âRoll for itâ
Nat 20. I sliced a spider in half. With a trident. While riding a dog and wearing a wombat as a backpack. Not the best nat 20 story ever, but it was the first to ever happen to me and will always have a place in my heart.
That was one of the most beautiful things iv seen in awhile lmao
That image is beautiful
Was the wombat analogous to a bag of holding? Or did it just hold your stuff in his/her paws??
That... greatđđ
My first nat 20 was during my second session. I had rolled under 7 for every roll except a history roll that was a 17 during these 2 sessions.. by the mid part of session 2 I had rolled maybe 5 natural 1. Anyhow, After getting lost in a major port city and getting robbbed by some half or and his goonsn my vhuman druid rolled a nat 20 and proceeded to rip out the half-orcs heart (primal savagery) and scare the living shit out of the other enemies.
After that my character has had an incredible rollercoaster ride of ups and downs.
Okay, I need to know about the wombat...
Me, a half-elf cleric, and this orc bard, were fighting this dragon. It had just destroyed this ruined castle, and one of the characters was knocked unconscious. I, the cleric tried to heal him, while the orc rolled a 17 to hold a heavy boulder that the dragon threw at him. I just rolled a Nat20 to heal the friend, but the turn just after, the orc rolled a 1 and dropped the boulder directly on the body that I just healed.

in the session i'm playing atm, we play weird west (wild west with call of cthulu mixed in). I played a kind of occult sharpshooter and trickster, and my friend were a drunk goldminer, a prussian officer and a former slave turned gunslinger. We just started to unravel the mystery around our little town called hollow hope, when we had to defend two vital npcs in the saloon from getting turned into a zombie buffet. and this fight became just hilarious.
I didn't manage to hit something with my rifle the whole fight, but got a critical 100 as i just tried to fire my old pistol, which was not even loaded. first facepalm from my dm, as my old pistol just fired a lightning that evaporized one of the zombies. Our prussian officer tried to fight with his pistol, and almost came instantly down to 1hp. After that, he asked:"I'm a prussian officer. I should have my officer sword?" dm: "Ok, but as you never told us about it before, you have to roll high-" he rolls a critical 100. Dm sighs and says: somehow, the prussian officer draws a sword from his backpack and slices at the zombie with it, which decapitates him." in the next round, the zombies attack again. dm lets them focus the goldminer, as he stands in the front of our little group. the miner rolls for evasion, and gets THREE CRITS FOR THREE ZOMBIES. So imagine the scene: fight in the saloon. my sharpshooter tries to do something, and fails most of the time, then turns into a fucking wizard. on the other side, our prussian officer turns the scene into a fucking samurai movie as he continues to slice the zombies into pieces with 1hp. and in the midst of this, our miner is basically playing dance dance revolution, as he continues to not get damage for the whole fight by evading all of the hits.
I need this in a movie. I really do.
This needs to be put in one of the videos
you have no idea how hard I laughed at this lmao
@Funny Bunny i would like the sharpshooting atm idea more,to be honest...
and dont forget to sense youre stimulate.
Ah yes. This is good
"And that's how my character became an armor enchantment"
This is my current D&D group and just happened last week. The party has just joined the local resistance, which is trying to overthrow the country's tyrannical king. The entire party wasn't present this week so we decided to do some side quests to help our new friends. Me aka Mogar (a human fighter) and Jona (a dwarf rogue) were sent into town to shop for supplies.
After visiting the blacksmith (and killing some thugs and rescuing an orphan) we spot a crowd of people running from something. After waiting a bit we see an elven druid (another player's new PC) running for his life. He's being chased by a 9 ft. tall armored thrall wielding a sword and shield. These guys act as the king's royal guard and we had just barely managed to kill one in an earlier session (our first major boss).
Deciding that this person is obviously important, we run in to save him. Mogar manages to grab it's attention with a well placed attack and acts as a distraction. Meanwhile Jona escorts the druid back to our base and calls for backup.
My fight is going badly. Mogar can't outrun the undead knight, his attacks keep missing and it's hitting him back like a truck. In a desperate effort to buy time, I sheathe my weapons. I then yell at the thrall: "I have sheathed my weapons. If you have any honor left in you, you will also fight with only your bare fists!". Roll a persuasion check. Nat 20. The undead knight stabs it's weapons into the ground and raises it's fists.
Mogar then proceeds to get absolutely pummeled and has his legs torn off. Luckily the others had managed to make it back to the resistance base and our new boss came to save me. He teleported in, grabbed me + my legs, then teleported back to the base (where the others were playing cards).
The others are extremely panicked with my lack of legs and ask our new druid to help me. Mogar then tells them it's fine and that he can't even feel any pain in my legs. The druid tells me to move my legs if I'm apparently fine. I proceed to grab my legs and wave them around. The players stifle laughs and we continue. The druid is not amused by this and now asks me to stand up. Roll an acrobatics check. Nat 20. I proceed to do a perfect handstand.
We then had to take a short break as everyone was laughing too hard. In the end my legs were safely attached back onto me and I'm excited for the next session.
Well, atleast ya took it in.... stride xP
I was the DM for this in 3.5e. The Cleric having newly been changed into a Half-Dragon (whole other story and goes a lot into the backstory and worldbuilding for this campaign) was still weakened and not in fighting condition. I waylaid the party with a bunch of Monstrous Spiders and the Cleric stayed in the wagon and out of the fight in case anyone needed healing. Well... the biggest spider (size Huge) happened to walk past her wagon and she jumped out on top of it. Nat 20 Ride Check. Coupled with a Nat 1 Strength check to throw off the weakened Cleric. Compounded by a second Nat 1 Will Save from the Spider. Enhanced by a Nat 20 Charisma Check from the Cleric... and the Cleric had a new mount.
DM convinced me to put my Lizardfolk Barbarian into a one on one battle against a a legendary crocodile (Thousand Teeth the devourer) as a trial by ritual combat issued by a Lizardfolk tribe, if I succeeded I would have the hand of the Queen in marriage, and the throne as King. DM was all but certain the encounter would be certain death for me, in a previous encounter we'd fought and killed a
T-Rex, and he allowed me to attempt to craft a weapon from the T-Rex's remains, apparently I rolled for a powerful bonesword crafted from the T-Rex's jawbone, it was a Moonblade (+1 longsword) with another roll to determine an additional property. I rolled for it and the Sword got Vorpal properties (+3 atk & dmg rolls, ignore slashing resistance, instant decapitation on nat 20), in other words, a VERY good sword, back to the croc. Round 1: my Pseudodragon follower (another story for another time) tried to use its poison stinger, does a little damage but no poison. I have rage active and strike hard, I wasn't told how much HP the croc had, only that I inflicted significant damage, the croc has a legendary action allowing it to strike back instantly with a tail strike, just barely dodged it, croc's turn, he bites down hard, my rage fuelled resistance saves me from the worst of the damage. Round 2: I strike, Nat 20. Dead, job done. DM was not happy, and that's how my Lizardfolk Barbarian became the Lizard King, best. Character. Ever.
lol
*click* noice
your dm deserved it for giving you a vorpal blade
@@spaceblockb5284 Not necessarily, he gave me a Moonblade. It's described as having magical runes etched along the blade that each grant a magical property. It starts with one rune granting a +1 to atk/dmg rolls, he told me to roll for another property, I just happened to roll high enough to score Vorpal properties.
@@keithadams7619 I get that it was luck, i'm just saying he should never consider something unbeatable when he has given you the strongest weapon in the game.
One of my favorite Nat 20 stories was an intimidation check where I did effectively nothing. A noble who gave us a quest was lying to our faces about not knowing something, and my massive goliath fighter in plate armor with a recently drake-bitten hole taken out of his side (indirectly the fault of the noble) just placed his hand on the noble's shoulder, gripped a bit too tight, and silently stared him dead in the eyes. Needless to say, he apologized and paid us extra for the "inconvenience" đ
These stories make me want to try playing d&d or something similar.
Go for it Nathan! You can play online at Roll D20, or through Tabletop Simulator on Steam if you wanted.

Same but I have bad people skills.
As long as you have a chill party that lets you goof around at least a little itll be a good time
@@SaraphDarklaw that's okay just play a character that has bad people skills. I would recommend a tiefling for race because the are disliked or even hated by most others races. Rouge for class because they don't have many interactions with others they just sneak and stab. Have fun!
First off you'd be surprised how many people you know play already but don't talk about. Second the community that does play and has for a while accepts everyone for who they are, no matter their personal back story. The reason behind this is the RPG is all about diversity, inclusion and teamwork. Different skill sets are important and essential because no one play can do everything in the game, it's built so that can't happen. Plus its all about spending time with others. Where as playing by yourself while it can be relaxing, also can be a hollow victory with no one to celebrate and share it with. Its definitely worth playing. Go down to you local gaming shop and ask if they know of any groups that wouldn't mind you joining in with no exp playing. Lastly if been playing for almost 2 years and have DM 4 one shot games. The people I have meet are the nicest and most genuine people I've meet in a while. And now they are some of my closest friends.
This one still makes me laugh...
I was a lv. 17 Dwarven Barbarian, my dad was the DM, my brother was a lv. 16 elf cleric.
We were trying to close a portal that the BBEG had created, because it was literally spewing out undead.
We were up against a dracolich, and I drew my specially crafted sword, (hereafter referred to as "Bonecrusher".)
DM: The Dracolich stomps towards you and roars in your face in an attempt to frighten you."
I roll an 18, it fails to frighten my character.
Conan, (my Dwarf,) runs towards the Dracolich, jumps up and lands a blow to it's neck with Bonecrusher. I roll to determine the outcome. Nat 20. Since its a magical sword that deals double the damage to undead, it decapitated the Dracolich. My brother tried to cast divine smite on a zombie, rolled a 1 and failed. I tried to help him out, rolled a 20, threw my sword at the zombie and sliced it clean in half. The DM rolled to determine whether the BBEG could keep the portal open or not, and rolled a 1 The portal instantly closed. We were in shock. We had a fun time destroying all those zombies and skeletons that were still on the field though.
I'm totally not imagining that "You Can't See Me" Paladin doing John Cena's wave in front of his face. XD
Paladin = padawan confirmed.
11:35 I just love to imagine the reaction of the Barbarian like âoh sh*tâ that made me laugh, lol
This made the whole table groan and our DM sit in total silence after seeing what we've done to his beautifully crafted campaign:
Was playing a campaign in middle school. I had wandered off into a forest looking for monsters, soon enough I encounter something. A giant bird! It nearly pecks me to death after me rolling crappy rolls. I call out to my party. They find me underneath a giant bird trying to peck my eyes out. The aasimar wizard in our party decides that its a good idea to use a fire spell. He starts a forest fire. The fire starts growing rapidly, me having to roll death saves 4 times after getting up and being instantly burned. As we run away from the destruction we've caused we see hundreds of creatures chasing after us. One session later we find out the forest was a key part of the story, and the mini-boss that should have been there has been burned to death horribly.
the one with the feather made me remember a one off I did, I was the rogue of the party, outfitted with various knick-knacks that one could use, one of which, a signal whistle. My job was to scout and report back as there were multiple tunnels to explore. I walked down one into a room discribed as a crystaline room and above was crystal stalactites swaying from the vibration in the room. Instead of turning around and going back to report, I pulled out my signal whistle, leaned into the room and gave a shrill blow of the whistle and stepped back to witness the stalactites fall to break the crystaline floor. Little did I know that the floor could be moved via a level on the opposite side of the room to head down to a champer that help a black dragon(don't remember the age category). Needless to say, that day a 1st level kobald rogue, killed what I was later told to be a CR 18 black dragon with a signal whistle.

@@ndt_dynamite2247 Kinda is if the DM has spent months making a campaign. At that point just write a book instead of playing a game.
Our half-orc bard got a nat 20 on his performance roll.
Not that weird, maybe.
Except he played the washboard.
The DM ruled it that he gave the most soulful performance the tavern had ever seen, and even our most distant and aloof party member began to cry at his performance.

My favourite nat 20 moment was when my party and I were fighting our first dragon and I ( a Dragonborn barbarian) proceed to roll 3 nat 20s on 3 separate turns. Safe to say my dm didn't like the fact that I shaved nearly a third of the dragon's health off by myself in 3 turns
In my first ever campaign, session 2 or 3. Weâre in a prison and told to pray before the statue of their god. My character is an atheist Goliath of low intelligence and high stubbornness, and spit on the statue. I get knocked unconscious and am brought to the infirmity. When I wake up, there is no guard, and all my friends are eating in the cafeteria with one of the guards watching. I leave and walk past the open door with a roll of 8 on stealth, the guard rolls a nat 1 on perception. I walk past, and end up walking into a room with a sleeping guard in it and a chest with out equipment. I roll a 15 on stealth, and the guard rolls a nat 1 to wake up, so I pick up the chest and walk back out. I go back up to the statue, break open the chest to find out whatâs inside, and decide to take a dump at the base of the statue as revenge. I roll for constitution. Nat 20. In the middle of pooping, I realize itâs more than expected. An unabated constant flow of diarrhea covers the entirety of the 11 foot tall statue as my barbarian pulls up his pants and goes back to the cafeteria to hand out the weapons to the rest of the party and overthrow the guards.
I love it when Dm's work with the group. Even when wacky and unpredictable moments happen. Makes for great memorable campaigns, even if its unplanned â€
The prince story reminds me of my Tiefling sorcerer I currently play, he owns the local tavern and recruits any surviving monsters or bad guy grunts as bar staff. so far we he has recruited 5 goblins, a small legion of kobolds, a human woman who has always been his right hand, 2 Goliaths to serve as bouncers, a few human farmers, an ogre, said ogres small army of crocodiles(all named Austin) , his grumpy phoenix familiar, a merrow with human level intelligence, his water genasi apprentice, and AN ANCIENT SILVER DRAGON WHO HE MARRIED.
If that isnt enough of one then there is this other time where a vampire was losing to our party and used gaseous form to escape, our cleric tried divine intervention to stop it and failed, this resulted in this gem:
Tiefling sorcerer(me): Can I use the cleric as a medium to contact his god using message and force him to stop this vampire form escaping us ?
DM: you know what, roll for it. but i doubt
Me: Nat 20
Dm and our cleric: WAIT WHAT!?
DM: well that somehow works and Hiemdall hears the voice of you're sorcerer chewing him out, please roll divine intervention.
i wish i could say i succeeded on that divine intervention check but alas i did not. since then its been a running gag that my sorcerer can contact clerics gods and warlocks patrons through the pc's but said gods and patrons are so surprised they at me pulling this off that they dont respond. it was hilarious to see our cleric getting mad at me for using him as an over glorified phone.
I was playing a barbarian alongside a friend. Our party was trying to kill a demon Lord hidden in a dwarven mountain but this session was the closes to a filler episode I've ever had in dnd, and I loved it. Reason being that after a previous encounter with some wererats, our party decided we needed some new equipment so the entire session devolved into a shopping episode. This stronghold had a famous blacksmith family so we decided to head that way. Some of us wanted some new things, others (like myself) wanted to see if they could improve their current weapons. My greatsword was a family heirloom. Our ranger had the head blacksmith attention at the moment so I was waiting around when I overheard my dm mention mythril arrows. Almost immediately, like a message from Loki, I got an evil idea in my head and I had to act on it. I pipe up and I tell my dm that I take one of the arrows into my hands. All while the dwarf was saying that these arrows are indestructible and the ranger had bought most of his stock on the counter, I roll to try and break the arrow.
Natural 20
Everyone but the ranger is quiet as he's just staring at me demand to know why I did that after he gave the money to the dwarf. The dm looks at me as he says that in quiet disbelief the dwarf looks on as a 5'10ft lizardfolk bends the arrow to one side. Not what I was going for but it went well. That is until our other barbarian pipes up saying that she immediately grabs the same arrow and announces that she is going to do the same thing. She rolls. . . and. . .
She gets a 4, the arrow cuts her pinky as she tries to bend it the other way. Everyone is laughing by this point at the bs we are pulling. Her character immediately rages and announces she does it again.
Nat 20
The dwarf now watches as another huge 6'3ft scarred half orc tries to do the same, and fails. The dwarf almost sighs in relief when the half orc now begins to turn red and with a great shout and ease breaks the arrow into 2. She throws it to the ground and I take this chance to look the dwarf square in the eye and say, "is tgis the best you can do, forgedmaster." He looks back at me after having been glued in place staring at his arrow and yells to his people that they'll be working overtime. I toss my sword and demand him to improve it as the other barbarian does the same with her maul. The rogue tries to squeeze his rapier in, as by this time we've all forgotten he hasn't had his turn with the blacksmith. (I've apologized to him for that several times). This isn't even the last bs from that session. But I'll end it on this. As we wwalk out the dwarf yells that on his pride as a craftsman, everything will be free as he will create the greatest arrow in the world and improve our weapons for us. And he will have us come back at Twilight to try and break this one. He closes the doors and the forge lights up with such fervor that the smokecloud could be seen miles away.
5e homebrew Wild West campaign. The players found a modded version of the deck of many things, and drew the card the âStaff of Beastsâ. This enrages any creature within a 250 foot radius and makes them charge the staff wielder whenever the staff touches the ground. Time was also going weird at this point, and they already fought one dinosaur. When they get the staff they throw it onto the ground, summoning a bunch of dinosaurs, but notably one Pteranodon. The fighter says âI want to jump on the Pteranodon and put my rope in his mouth and fly him aroundâ me âI mean you can try that but it isnât going toâ - âNat 20â. Now the fighter has a flying pteranodon mount that I donât know how to deal with
Glad to see another Wild West homebrew! Ours was like if DnD and Oregon Trail had a baby XD
"still got all the hair on your head?"
Bald people: *punching air*
So was playing a campaign and the group was completing tasks for a shady character. We got to the third task and it was to steal a crown from a visiting kingdom during an exhibit of said crown. We thought it out to almost every detail. Two people had replica crowns made just in case and bought lightning stones. Get to the night of the exhibit the crown is in a case that is guarded by a wizard. One lightning stones went off and ran in to break the case was able to. Then the wizard did a spell that created three or four skeleton fighters. One player ran up and got a Nat 20 on a swing with a mace he found. The dm made me roll and I did not know why. Turns out when you roll a 1 and to close to the skeletons getting maced you get damage from shards of bone.
We finished taking out the rest of the skeletons quickly. The wizard started using other spells on us that was supposed to be stupid powerful but the dm was rolling like 5 and 4s. He only hit one person and paralyzed them. While all of this is going on another player on the other side of the room placed caltrops at the only exit. The rest of the players started working on the wizard and was doing decent damage to him. The wizard went invisable. So since we could not see the wizard the one player that was paralyzed tried to listen to when he was... Nat 20. The dm made the player confirm the roll... another Nat 20. So the player told the others the general area where the wizard was. We started shooting arrows and throwing everything we have in the general direction of the given to us. We was getting 18-19s and was doing damage. The wizard b-lined to the door and stepped on the caltrops. The dm rolled for dexterity to avoid them and got a 1 then rolled for damage and got about half the full damage. Someone asked if we see the wizard yet due to blood. The dm defeated looking said yes and we kept chasing him down. I threw my last weapon at the wizard and rolled a 17 that added up to 20 due to bonuses. The wizard died from a dagger in his back. The dm by this time was in disbelief and said "Well there goes that campaign". We looked at the dm and asked why. Turns out we killed the BBEG in the first encounter with him at level 3-4. Was supposed to be a big long campaign that ended in 4 sessions.
Thats a bad GM. He should have made that character a minion or simulacrum.
One of my first dnd games, the fighter who was a Goliath wanted to talk to ogres who were going to eat us, so I wanted to help him with some music because I was a bard. So I ask him "what type of instrument ogres like?" he answered me "none, but try percussion" . I only had a violin and a flute so I took some rocks on the ground and started to hit one on another. Nat 20, the ogres where so confused because they never saw someone play rock as I did so they let us go.
During a session of Tomb of Annihilation that Iâve been running, one of the characters wanted to throw a shield at an enemy pirate during a ship battle. Rolling a natural 1, he ended up throwing the shield at one of the NPC allies next to said pirate, dealing enough damage to knock out the already-wounded ally.
Samurai decapitating a dragon with a 20 made me instantly subscribe for how insane that was.
Our party has a very nast habit of only rollin nat20s when it doesn't matter. For example, i tried to knock on a door that was on fire. I rolled a nat20 on my resistance or something, and i actually extinguished the flame as i touched this inferno of a door.
Character "Cold Knock" Name đ
Why were you rolling to knock on the door? Sounds like you roll 20s on things that don't matter because you're rolling for too many things lmao
@@titantill4975 I don't remember, but it was justified. Might've been a history check to remember the fire or something
@@michaelhird432 it was only at least 8 months ago. Roll a history check to see if you remember this particular session.

I was going to say that God call was my favorite, until the three goblin one.
There was a rat midair jumping at one of the players so she just took a swing at it, rolled and got a nat20. She got so scared she didn't even stab and the rat just kind of skewered itself
Pathfinder: My player rolled a nat 20 to hide in an open street. This was a like 40+ total. He then rolled like 17 to pickpocket an npc. So that was over 30. I facepalmed trying to figure out how I was going to describe him vanishing in plain sight and swiping something off of someone without a single person noticing
A case of "somebody else's problem?"
reminds me of Skyrim's silly stealth system. level up your stealth skill enough and put 5 perk points into the right perk, and you can hide in the middle of a street.
The solution here is to just auto-fail, because you can't just hide without cover.
I was the DM for this. First DM session, too. It took place in a multiuniversal-type story and the setting for _this_ story was the TRON series.
Some backstory: One of the characters, who I'll name Lo (mind you this is more homebrew than 5e) has a shield that *_stops magic entirely_* no matter what (with, currently, a flat DC 15 check). Another character, who I'll name Al, with a 20 in strength, can do basically anything (again, DC 15).
Onto the incident. It was the first fight with one of the BBEGs (there are 2). Al asked if he could double his strength and leap off Lo's shield, slamming into the ground to cause a shockwave. I said "Roll to pass the DC." *_Nat 20_*. I sighed, before breaking out in laughter. "You leap off [Lo]'s shield 80ft into the air, and slam into the ground. (Al rolls damage) {Facepalm} You deal _80 points of damage_ to every enemy on the field, killing 5 of them. The BBEG is still left."
BBEG fled after 2 turns. Planned for that though, since I wanted it to happen. Party would've lost otherwise.
5e - DM has a tendency to have us do a choice of skills from a list - Arcane, History, Investigation, Insight, or some other skills, usually by saying "Roll for X, Y, or Z." Given that there's at least six players at any given time, folks tend to roll for whatever skill that they are best with, most of the time. Me, I tend to have decent rolls, and with no negative modifiers, an 18 is an 18 at the very least, and usually I fill in what needs to be filled in, even if I don't have the proficiency for it.
On this day, the DM once again calls for three skills - I can't remember what the skills were, but they don't matter, given what happened.
Me: (Makes a sucky roll.) Using Inspiration! *(Nat20!)* I just got a 20.
DM: In what?
Me: It's a *Nat20!* (I lean back.) I'll fill in what needs filled in.
DM: Okay. Who-
Guy Next to Me: I *also* got a *Nat20!*
We start to chuckle at this, including the DM.
DM: Alright. Who-
Guy With The *Worst Luck Ever!:* I *also* got a *Nat20!*
We all burst out in laughter. This guy is playing a dwarf who is so unlucky, he has negative modifiers in Wisdom, Intelligence, and Charisma (also Dexterity, but I think that was a beginning Dump Stat), and he has no beard due to eating raw black dragon meat, the blood of which had reacted like acid and causing massive damage to his lips and throat, and he is afraid of heights (but that was due to a cheater that had played before I joined, along with a lot of other crazy things), and suffers from terrible rolls. Him rolling a 20? We've ran into the gods more often than he's rolled a 20 (Of course, given that the equivalent of Ragnarok is going on, we've run into a bunch of them.)
Other Player: It's like they say; even a broke clock is correct twice a day.
DM: What?
One thing to note, the DM is a Veteran, both in terms of D&D (about 20 years of playing, although he's been learning some new things recently due to me, but that's another story) and because he is an ex-Marine, and was wounded in action, and as such, is stuck on Military time. Us civilians have to explain how the same time occurs twice a day - AM and PM.
DM: Oh, okay. Anyways, with three *Nat20s,* I guess that covers *everything!* Here's what you know now.
Second story as a player, this one caused the whole table to groan:
In a Wild West DnD Homebrew campaign (think DnD and Oregon Trail had a baby), I was a centaur ranger(called scouts in-game) named Scout (just cause lol) working as, you guessed it, a scout for the wagon train. The wagon train had entered a town and heard tell of a horse thieving ring causing issues for wagon trains coming through. So the Outlaw(rogue) and Cowboy(fighter) decided they wanted the bounty on the ring, and dragged me into it. I don't remember how, but the Undertaker(necromancer) cast an illusion on me, making me look like a full fledge horse (my lower half was a gray tiger-striped grulla horse, look it up if you like). So I was hanging out in the barn when the thieves arrived, and decided I was a great choice to steal. So I let myself be stolen, and the plan was for me to be taken to the hideout, leaving a trail to be followed. Unfortunately our 'that guy', playing as the outlaw, couldn't wait and proceeded with, "I jump down from the ceiling on top of the guy stealing Scout!". DM groans, "Do you really wanna that?" "YES!" "Fine....roll for it." "Nat 20!". A low groan from the table. "You drop from the ceiling and land perfectly on the thief. And from the force you break his arm and he begins to scream. The screams awaken the stable keep who begins ringing the livery bell and alerts the town, who's sheriff and debuties are now rushing to the livery. And you remember you have a damn wanted poster out for your arrest."
The idiot had to quickly hide and the screaming thief was taken by the sheriff and debuties. This dumbass had now screwed up us finding a clue about a possible ambush later on in the thieves' camps, and a sizable amount of reward the party could have used. -_-;
At that point, you just grab "that guy" and throw him into the brig for the money.
I was running a Star Wars D20 game. The players were both Mandalorians, one being a force sensitive trained in a hybrid form of Jedi mysticism and Mandalorian practicalism. The Mandalorian in question, however, was a tech specialist with a fondness for things that fly and explode. The party got stranded on a planet that was under the effects of a planetary prison. One of the characters cobbled together a device to launch herself up into the upper atmosphere so that she could ignite her jetpack and get high enough to clear the interference of the prison, and get a message out to the ship that was waiting for them. After several minutes of discussion, planning out just when certain things had to happen, and a brief disagreement about how powerful thermal detonators really were, she made the roll. With a force point, just to be safe. Natural 20. Two 6's on the force point.
"Great, you build the thing, and everything looks good," I say. The Mandalorian climbs onto the rigged up sled, powered everything up, then looked at the rest of the party and said "The science is sound!" Rolled for activation.
Natural 20...
Rolled to hit her jet pack at the right time to escape the signal interference and... nat 20. The science was, indeed, sound.
This was actually at my last session! I am playing an Dragonborn Paladin. I had been rolling pretty bad all night. As some background my brother was playing a Tortle Druid who is always high from his "Sea Weed". Additionally I should mention our DM implemented what he calls "brutal criticals" meaning crits always deal max damage on the dice then doubled (important for later) We were trapped on a ship at sea by a Walking Reef. We had previously thrown in the tortles weed (against his will) to see if it would let us go if we gave it to him, it did nothing. So my character decided to dive overboard to attack the reef, Natural one, and I almost died as a result. The next turn insues and my brother cast water walking but our DM decided the reef also was effected by waterwalking so I am currently hanging on to the reef while everything is above the water. My sister casts guiding bolt right before my turn. I have advantage, its my time. I explain how I am so angry and fuming about the situation with the reef and ask Bahamut to grant me strength. I dive to attack, Natural 20. Divine smite here we come. Now I have Great Weapon Master so when I crit i got an attack as a bonus action. my next attack hits but doesn't crit, followed by my bonus action attack, another Natural 20. I had dealt 164 total damage to a 150 health monster in one turn at level 6... My DM explains how with the power of gods I literally made the reef split in two and start to sink into the sea. immediately I thanked bahamut for his strength and ask if I can roll to find my tortle friends weed we threw. you guessed it... another natural 20. finding the weed was the best nat 20 though. Glad I subscribed.
Dude... Is the Tortle's name Crush?
so many instances of "if you let em roll for it, you have to be prepared for it to succeed"
Iâm the guy that plays The Dragonborn Paladin in the first story. Just want to say thank you for telling my funny experience. I really appreciate it. Iâm also the same guy that said if Mr Ripper pinned my comment, Iâd turn vegan. I did, in fact, turn Vegan.

@@clint_the_wolf8313 And they say the vegans are annoying? Jeez.
At the beginning of the campaign(tormenta20) everyone had to do a non-lethal duel with their respective classes(I was mage) to join the adventurers guild, we battled for a bit her attacks missed until I cast fear and rolled a Nat20 not only did I win but I traumatized her for a while(she was a important dmpc), everyone else lost their duel
In my friend's campaign, I was playing a firbolg wizard who was secretly a weretiger. Before a fight with a dragon, I rolled to keep control. I rolled a nat 1. On percentile. Off my character went, running as fast as he could into the bossfight to hide his secret. The dragon could apparently cast spells and blocked off the passage behind me. By the time the party reached me, I was half dead in weretiger form, slicing into this dragon every turn for almost no damage. When I finally regained control, a single prismatic spray was all it took to finish off the dragon.

"Nnnnope! Not gettin outta this chair!"
We were playing a run off of the Decent into Avernus and I DMed a side quest. Eventually one of the NPCs died and my dad (A half orc bard) Tried to roll intimidation to wake him up. I said OK but you're gonna have to roll a nat--- rolling sound NAT 20. This dude came back sh*ting his pants so he didn't die.
"And that's how my character became a armor enchantment!"
That got me so bad
My DM said ârole with disadvantageâ and I did and I got a nat20 on both and felt like a bad ass the rest of the game lol.
This is a long one but I think it will be very enjoyable to hear. Especially because our barbarian somehow rolled 3 nat 20s in a row.
Our campaign was currently inside of a tribe that rarely let outsiders in, but for some reason took a liking to us and allowed us to stay for a little while. While we were there we found a mysterious tunnel with four guards there telling us that we couldnât enter. Mostly as a joke with some curiosity our Warlock decided to try and intimidate these guards into stepping aside. He ended up rolling super high we were let through. As we entered this cavern we came across a giant mushroom inside the center of it that seemed to extend downwards for a very long distance with another tunnel surrounding it. We tried a couple experiments with the mushroom since we were given no instruction on what it was or could do, one of these was us trying to cut into the mushroom. Our DM, trying to get us to leave the mushroom alone and salvage the campaign, had it spew out a toxic purple gas to chase us out of the tunnel back the way we came. Panic ensued and instead of going back the way we came, we all decided to us our own methods of getting down the tunnel the mushroom was coming from, amazingly all of us rolling really high and was able to get down to what seemed like the bottom. In fact, our Barbarian rolled his first nat 20 on running down the mushroom to the bottom like the flash. Although purple gas was still chasing us down there but we had bought some time. This second cavern was similar size to the original but this time it didnât have the center tunnel and had about an inch of water on the bottom. Our cleric asked our barbarian to try and drink the water, again mostly as a joke especially because from the very beginning of the campaign his character would always try to eat everything. He agreed to try it and our DM had him roll a constitution save. Nat 20, again. In response his character promptly flopped on the ground, drank every last drop of water on the ground like it was nothing which everyone found hilarious. Then our cleric had yet another great idea, and asked our Barbarian to spew the water at the gas in order to try and stop it. He agreed and the DM had him roll a performance check this time. For the third time, he rolled another nat 20. Every member including the DM was blown away, no one believed that he had somehow managed to roll three nat 20s in a row but we all looked and there it was, the third in a row. In response our barbarian not only blew the water in a strong enough current to repel the gas but also cut the giant mushroom in half effectively killing it, and literally 90% of the plans that our DM had made for the campaign, in one fell swoop.
Heeeeey Rip Daddy! Thanks for noticing me. Showed the video to my DnD campaign buddies, they were absolutely overjoyed that we are technically "immortalized" now. Here's my story for you, featuring the hijinks of the Human Artificer from Japan, the Changeling Bard, the Wood-Elf Monk and the High-Elf Sorcerer:
DM: "Alright, you're about to go to the diplomatic meeting with the Tabaxi ambassadors and members of their race in 2 hours to convince them to fight alongside you in the war."
Bard: "As a College of Lore Bard, I say we go to the library and study on them, to see if there's any useful information."
DM: "Okay you go to the library, everyone roll investigation."
~Everyone rolls above average, around 13 or higher.~
DM: "Okay so all of you find out that in this world, the Tabaxi are known to be highly curious and intelligent. Very industrialized society. They value technological knowledge and science above all, a little bit wary of magic and their primary export's agriculture."
~Later at the meeting~
Artificer: "I show the ambassadors of the Tabaxi Empire my cellphone and say that I'm from another world. If they help us, I'll be able to show them technology from my world."
DM: "Roll Persuasion."
Artificer: "NAT TWENTY. YEEEEAAAAAAAAH"
Monk: "Oh here we go again, this is the second time he's done this!"
DM: ~Facepalms~ "Okay so the Tabaxi not only believe you, they believe that you are a warrior...no, a champion that was sent in accordance with a prophecy they have. The prophecy states that in times of great conflict or when the world's magic is imbalanced, an individual would be chosen in order to make things right. The ambassadors want to send word to their empress to say that they have found you."
Artificer: "I was not expecting this."
The whole party: "NEITHER WERE WE."
"That's how my character became an armor enchantment" lol
Was playing home brew pathfinder. My friend was playing a dwarf fighter and fell off the side of a mountain. DM asked what he wanted to say/do. So my buddy being sarcastic says he flaps his arms as fast as he can to slow his fall. Dm said roll. Nat 20. Dm facepalm and has an avatar of the God of luck let this dwarf fighter in full plate armor fly back up the mountain but tells the entire party you amused me greatly but you only get one

I don't have one of these for AD&D, but I DO have one for Shadowrun 3rd Edition...
I was playing a Psychotic Hermetic Mage and our group tried to break into a Top Secret Corporate R&D Facility, we managed to get in, get the data we were after and almost got out undetected when we missed spotting a sensor. That brought the wrath of Corporate Security down on our heads and one of the things Security had Guarding the place was a small Tank.
It fired it's Assault Cannon (they HURT if they hit you) and missed us so I said to the GM I'm casting a spell up to the last syllable and holding my action from there using my Hearing Enhancement and Select Sound Filter Cybernetic Augmentations to listen to the Tank's Loading Mechanism, when I hear it start sliding the new shell in, I speak the final syllable and aim the Lightning Bolt down the center of the barrel to hit the new shell while the breach is still open. He had me roll a Perception Check for the sound and then had me roll a Spellcasting + Quickness (Dexterity) Check to aim the bolt (Shadowrun uses only D6's) Perception of 6, I rolled 3 6's and 2 5's so I heard the shell being loaded and Spellcasting 8 + Quickness 4 gave me 12 Dice...I rolled in front of everyone and got 11 6's and 1 5...the bolt went straight down the center of the barrel without grounding out on the barrel and nailed the shell setting it off. Since the Breach was still open, the blast erupted inside the Turret and into the ready magazine causing all the other shells to detonate...The GM told us we see Mason (my Mage) cast the Lightning Bolt at the Tank and the Tank explodes into thousands of pieces - Combat came to a screaming halt as everyone just stared in shock and (in Character) I swing my finger to point at the Guards and with a truly Malevolent Grin on my face, yell WHO'S NEXT?
The Guards broke and ran in Terror (in Shadowrun, the more Processed/Technological/Computerized an object is, the harder it is to affect with magic and they don't get much more Processed/Technological that a Tank)...
It didn't break the Campaign, but it did complicate our Characters lives from that point forward since our Street Reputation increased considerably making it harder for us to Hide in the Shadows and avoid the Authorities hunting us after a mission/heist...It also made us more vulnerable to Challenges from the young bucks wanting to make a name for themselves by taking us out...
I miss Mason...he was SO much fun to play...

I am bothered by your grammar, but this is really funny, so I'll let it slide.
"Id like to roll to stay asleep" NAT 20 LOL EVERYDAY!
This is pretty recent: the party was fighting a group of goblings and one of the players known for this kind of ideas decided to try and persuade one of them into becoming our ally, this after having reduced his hp to 1 the round before; the third turn off doing this the goblin got a nat 1 so he succeeded not happy the player decided to try this on two more goblins using the help of the one he persuaded, both nat 20
1:29 Rules Lawyer time. Command can't be used to make someone do something that would obviously lead to self harm. Keyword "obviously." RAW, the only way this works is if the bandit thinks he can do a backflip, but he actually can't, which actually makes this even funnier.
Sniped a dragon out of the air with an ... apparently magic trident I had picked up then and there on the snowy battlefield. DM did not like that for some reason. I still carry the trident with me and I'm not even Proficient with it. We dubbed it Dragonator btw.

So Iâve Been Dming this one campaign for about 6 years on and off called âcurse of the Blood moonâ a home brew campaign durning the first initiative roll of the first encounter every player (group of 13 but 8 was playing at the time ) rolled all nat 20s.....I sat down and facepalmed saying âI have 1 job as Dm and I blew it!â I sat there for about 5 minutes in a double facepalm when I rolled......I rolled a nat 1! I walked away from the table to yeet my die as far as I can throw it!
Oh I have one of these. It was a few of our parties first time playing DnD so our DM decided to do a one shot with all of us playing as ourselves. To set the scene we had all just woken up in a cave with no knowledge as to how we got there and one of our less experienced players starts with " I take the gun."
DM: What gun?
Player: I regurgitate a gun
DM: roll for it
Player: Nat 20
DM: you regurgitate a gun
and that is how our party gained a gun.

Issue #49 doesn't include any of the details for the "critical to hit" that list a Nat 20 as an instant decapitation; it was updated and that was removed as far as I can see. And the class has been further updated for 5e in Xanathar's Guide to Everything. You'll have to talk to your DM about it đ

Hi there! Im the guy who plays The Dragonborn, who is named Gresh, I strive to make my voice acting for him as good as Mr Rippers. Alas, I fear my mortal voice could never reach the level of the holy symphony that is that mans voice.
@@jakelewis7083 Hello there to you and Wobbegong too! I'm the guy voicing in this video trying to make that Dragonborn become something of legend and lore here!
i was in a Christmas campaign with my brother (I was a half ork barbarian, and my brother was a tabaxi rogue). we encountered a creature that cast a spell that made us not able to hear. a spear flew at me and hit my stomach
Me: I would like to tell him what happen
DM: he can hear you, in fact, you can't hear anything
Me: I would like to draw a picture in the snow with a stick to show him what happens (keep in mind I am in a state of rage)
DM: roll performance
nat 20:
DM: (facepalming) the barbarian, somehow still in rage from the last battle, draws a perfect illustration of what happened
This happened a few days ago. So in this campaign we are trying to do in Ravnica we have a human rogue(very original I know). On the first mission that brought our group together we had to capture a gang boss and we tracked him to this warehouse. I(a minotaur monk) used a eversmoking bottle on the otherside of the building for a distraction and we were going to try and go in the door guarded by a goblin. Our rogue rolls insanely high on his stealth and proceeds to walk about 30ft to him lock pick the door, open the door, take out his dagger, and shank him before he noticed. We are level 1 btw.
Edit: The rogue has a +8 to stealth for no reason what so ever, I have asked the DM multiple times to lower his stats to make this fair.

Gave the goblin a heart attaaaahhhhhhhhhh ohh fUuUck
2 back to back nat 20's perception and Constitution checks when the high elf paladin was put on watch duty. Unfortunately there was nothing there and the night was uneventful but if there was holyshit would he know about it.
Guy on the street: "here's 5 GP, lose your cloths"
"I'm actually a dude."
Guy on the street: *"Did I stutter!?"*
I was (and still is) the DM of my campaign
I played a Wizard to help my players because it was there first game and didn't really knew the rules so we were level 6 at the time
We were fignting a boss Greater Thorn that i've placed for the players to run from as their first too strong encounter to learn that you can't just win all of the fights
But they tried to kill it and I said
DM: Okay so do you tou-
Ranger: Is a 20 good
DM: *sighs* Okay roll again to see if you confirm your crit
Ranger: Still 20, so what happens?
DM: *facepalm* You get up throughout your pain and aim at the Beast and say "get out of this forest you despecable and hideous creature!" You shoot 2 arrows right in the head of the creature and lays down dead
Paladin: Well...that was easy
They got an entire level or close for it and the game ended with me facepalming myself
We still poke out of it to this day as the easiest boss ever đ
Goblinslayer is the best story I have ever heard.
This is why I make it a house rule that a nat 20 doesnt mean it's an auto sucess.
Fun fact: That's not a house rule. It's a normal, stated in the book rule. People just forget/get confused/ or don't bother reading all of the rules.
@@Csrumk I know that but people dont seem to get that so I restate it as a house rule
This was my first ever combat encounter I ever played, I was playing a warlock home brew race and use eldritch blast on a goblin, after both of my party members failed to even tickle the goblins I roll a nat20 instantly incinerating one of them and then proceeded to sit back and boast the rest of the fight
12:58 "Naniii!!! Where are Gobbos ???" Goblins Slayer on the rampage Buahah
Here's mine... I'm a first-time DnD player and my current game (need to fine-tune some things for my character... Monk sounded cool at first, but I realized that the monk isn't too good to multiclass). So, at the time I had int. of 7 and with a cooking fail from our badger ranger, I was always hungry. We passed by an enchanter's cart and we bought a bag of holding and a ring of teleportation. Now, the ring is the part of the story to focus on. I was the one who was given it. Being me, I asked to test it. it wasn't a good roll, but it still teleported... the ring did, not me. Seeing this, I asked my DM if I could, ehem... "Eat the ring to digest the powers of the ring" He let me... and it worked about 2 sessions with a nat20. I am now allowed a single misty step per long rest
9:50 Isn't that the vorpal sword ability? It seems broken as just a class feature for that very reason.
A friend of mines first campaign: We had just finished up on an adventure and my fiends character (king Kevin the halfling ranger) had decided he wanted a new bow. He goes to the nearest store which was selling a +1 long bow for a HELL of a lot of money. He put his 1,200 gold pieces in, wasnât enough. He goes and to my orc barbarian who is sleeping and rolls to steal my money, rolls an 18. He took 500 gold. Then he goes back to the shop, STILL not enough money. In comes the bartering that goes down in legend. After rolling a good mix of 18-19 rolls the longbow is almost within his budget, his last offer is to sell what he called his most precious item. Boots filled with a liquid he picked up in a hurry and couldnât bag. It was goblin seamen. (Donât ask why he had this) DM tells him to roll deception. You guessed it, Nat 20. âI offer you my most prized possession, goblin Klum in my bootsâ. âI would be a FOOL to refuse such an offer! This mysterious liquid can sell for MILLIONS!â
So I was playing a elf barb I decided it would be a good idea for this character to be small and look like a child, fool your opponents and stab them in the back type of thing. Anyway, we saw a man running from an old lady with a purse so we chased him we attack he uses an invisibility potion and starts attacking us, so we roll to hit donât do to bad and heâs getting beat but heâs putting up a good fight. So I roll to hit him with my sword in the neck hopefully hitting him and knocking him out and heal him so he wonât ya know die. I roll to hit Nat 20. Decapitated. We give to purse back to the old Lady and she says âthank you the revolution will find this vary valuableâ. Yea we just gave the BBEG group a lot of gold and some secret information. As well as killing an innocent messenger trying to run from danger. Letâs just say we didnât stay in that town for vary long
6:14 aww thats so bitter... i like it!

2:20 IGNORE ME!!!!
