We still got Backer kits going on from the FG kickstarter! (aka pre-orders) bit.ly/34Mn0NT ALSO Today is FELIX'S BIRTHDAY! (Feb.9th) and so what a nice way to celebrate then talk about our failures! (with some victories) So hopefully you guys liked it and next video will be a Fools Gold ep, this was just a nice break and something I've wanted to make for a long time now :D Love you all and stay safe out there
Showed my dnd friends your videos about fools gold and they absolutely love the vids Do you know an easy way to start dming 3.5e or do you really just dig smyourself through the materials because 5e was easier to learn through other people I knew Edit: of course Herzlichen Glückwunsch to Felix the bday boy
I'm imagining that the Thri-kreen threw a curve ball so shnasty that it transformed the minotaur into an angry version of Sonic the Hedgehog which proceeded to turn the Dragon's skull into Mcnugget meat
Two of my friends have super bizarre luck. One of them managed to get 4 nat 20's in a row on consecutive attacks across his turns. The odds of this happening is 6.25e-4%, or 0.000625%. He was playing a moon druid, and was in spider form, so it resulted in us basically capturing an entire squadron of goblin ambushers, since spider venom KO's and doesn't kill. Meanwhile another friend of mine has horrid luck, where the average of all his dice rolls per session is usually around 5. On 3 separate occasions, when he's used inspiration or had advantage, he's managed to get double nat 1's. He'll shove a target prone just fine, and then go in for the attack and still manage to flub it. He'll try to kick in a door, using expertise in athletics, and just smash his face into it.
I did the opposite in 2 campaigns, one i went to kick down the door, rolled a nat 20 and SHATTERED MY SHINS as the door was protected by magic so any force dealt to it was dealt to the attacker, and seeing as i was a wizard. . . I immediately went down Next, we had just entered the main town of the campaign, we walk to the tavern, and I, in my all knowing mind, thought it would be a saloon door and decided to kick it open to be all cool, i roll a nat 20 and break the door... The owner wasnt happy with me
I had a friend with terrible rolls too. To give you an idea of how bad they were, I don't think he ever hit a _single_ attack. The campaign only lasted like 5 sessions maximum, so it's not _that_ weird, but still...not a single hit. Meanwhile I would roll really highly and killed a magical flying alligator with a single punch of my bare fist.
I had created an Elf Archer(both Prestige classes for 3.0 DnD that focused on the Bow). I could hit ANYTHING I could see. After a month of playing I was attacked in melee and player panicked as I didn't have ANY melee weapon. I ran for an assist from a Party Member. After the combat, was accused of being Ill-Prepared. I pointed out, "Melee weapons seem to be cursed in my hands." They scoffed and gave me a Masterwork Longsword, I thanked them. Next combat, I needed to use the sword, I swung. My Initiative was 18, an enemy was attacking our Fighter, it's Initiative was 17.Nobody else had an 18 or 17. Nat 1 "Roll again to see how badly." the DM said Nat 1. "Ugh, let's see what happens." DM grabs the "Chaos Dice" which are the Percentile Die. 100 "Your sword flies out of your hands, bounces off the back of the Fighter's shield, forcing him to drop his guard." The enemy the Fighter was dealing with gets a +2 to his attack because the shield wasn't being used. 16+2, Fighters AC was 17. I was never permitted to use a melee weapon in that campaign again.
Sounds like a moment in a larp im in. *Winterball invite given to everybody* Me(Devil seer/occult artificer) Arwin: "We can't let Kraka(Valkery) and Sune(Jotun) go to the party dressed by themselves" good dragon friend Ash: "Rock paper scissor to who dresses up who?" *rock paper Scissors happens and Ash wins* Dragon: "I'll dress up Kraka, you take Sune... Good luck" Me/Arwin: *whimper* Now I just have to wait two weeks to tell everybody what happens
@@evelynnsophia7631 It's with a heavy heart that i must inform you instead of getting to play it next week i have to wait a month because the school that we were to play on had a scheduling error and only informed us 7 days before we were to start decorating
@@hefas842 oh that really sucks. Bad organization *and* communication on the schools part, wow. Hopefully you have fun playing, awful you have to wait so long!
My son was the DM for a small group of his friends, all fairly new at the game. The party is attacked by goblins. One of his friends decides to attack with a chorizo (he somehow had chorizos in his kit). Well, one not 20 later and a goblin chokes to death on a chorizo that was shoved down his throat. I’m in the other room listening to this (their entire campaign was going this way) and just dying.
Reminds me of something similar from my first one-shot. At that point I wasn't really taking the game seriously. I just wanted to goof off, so I basically made my character this weird alien abomination that would intentionally do the dumbest things (don't worry, besides the DM it was everyone else's first game too). Well by the end of the one-shot, I had acquired a bunch of carrots in my inventory, and we were just about to meet a backstory NPC. Literally as soon as we started talking to her, my character decided he was bored. So he walked up to her, put a hand on her shoulder, and shoved a carrot up her nose. The DM asked me to roll for it, and I got a natural 20. Seconds later she's on the floor, dead, with brain juice and bits of carrot spilling out of her nose. I'd never do something like this again, but it's still one of my favorite stories because of how ridiculous it is.
DM: "Roll an Arcana check. You're contesting this guy." Me: "Nat 20!" DM: "For a total of? This guy got a thirty-" Me: "Thirty-seven!" DM: "Thirty-one... Bruh." So anyways, I ate an angel's soul because he couldn't Arcana better than I could. It was neat. Nothing's happened yet because of it, but hey, it happened!
Dm: “the narrator likes you so much that with his omniscent powers takes you out of the story for you to be with them for all eternity. You are now a watcher, you are conscious of everything, yet can not interfiere in anyway in the events you witness”.
My favorite Nat 20 moment is when my 4 friends and I were playing all bards (all 5 different subclasses). We were on our way to "diplomatically" end a civil war. When we got there a big battle was already happening and we just said "let's do this". So we all role for performance... 4 of us rolled a Nat 20 and the 5th person high rolled. We ended a bloody civil war with the power of song and dance.
@@edo0girl2.03 it ruined the campaign but it was amazing. Our DM wasn't even mad, he just threw his notes away then said "time to improvise". Good laughs and memories
I have a friend who was in my dnd club in highschool who played our first ever campaign as a monk with a cooking set that he was proficient in cause he had the cook background. Every time he went to cook though, he got a nat 1 and poisoned everyone. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I was hosting a campaign while almost everyone at the table was brand new to the game, I finish my opening description of the area and one of my players just says “I hit a fat whip” and, as a joke, I say “roll for it”. Immediate nat 1 and the character face plants from whipping so hard he takes one damage. Great way to start the campaign
Be: my parties medic goes down because he wanted the dance god said aight bet and he failed so hard now he’s comatose Be also me: bloody angry because our healer is down because of his stupid dance
One of my players kept wanting to make either Stealth or Performance checks during combat depending on whether she hit or missed, trying to impress the rest of the party.
Our group in Rise of Tiamat ended up buying a mule, which we then doted on and later juiced up with a whole bunch of magic items, which was basically all of the mount related ones such as Zephyr Horseshoe, a magical saddle, and a freaking +2 Plate Mail Barding that cost so god damn much that we crashed the economy. Our DM then decided that the mule was actually a legendary dragon who got True Poly'd by Bahamut as punishment for some thing, and with our Not-Mule-Actual-Dragon we beat Tiamat, yay!
that reminds me of the story of Journey to the West where the monk's horse is actually a dragon and it only gets brought up again like, 2 or 3 times after the dragon becomes the horse.
One of my best moments was rolling a 1. We were trying to sneak up on some guards. I decided to use an attack that let me teleport behind them. I rolled a 1, and said I'm going to the bar and just walked off I heard the DM say "his character disappears, and you hear a crash in the Inn..."
I just have the mental image of a guard hearing a small *pop* from behind, feeling the whoosh of air as a blade comes for his throat and sneezing at just that moment, accidentally ducking the attack and hip checking the assailant into an open beer stein.
That’s so true with a Nat one it’s often the most crucial moment and u instantly fail 🎉 but as Brennan from Dimension 20 fantasy high episode 10 says “with a Nat 20 anything is possible”
I mean, 1e pathfinder's nat 1s are not as scary (its roll20 favorite number...) since it doesnt auto miss in skill checks and the worst thing that happens in that you miss an attack. He do have Dingo's triple 20 rule, but it was never come up... But also nat 20 on skills is just a really high number...
Great stories. My best was when a party member tried to Intimidate a Gelatinous Cube, for some reason, and said "You look rather tasty", then roled a Nat 1, so the DM decided that the Player Character was instantly eaten by the Cube.
Nat 20: My dwarf fighter, picks up a goblin and uses him as a weapon to kill five other goblins Nat 1: My rogue was gonna assasinate their target while they slept only to slip, accidentaly stab himself and passes out in the middle of the enemy HQ
Nat 20's and Nat 1's are what I live for. Absolute favourite moment was that time our parties cleric failed to use divine intervention to stop a fleeing vampire. Cue my sorcerer grabbing the cleric and effectively using him as a phone line to call up his god(Heimdall, if anyone's curious) and yell at him until he gave us a second divine intervention roll. All thanks to a single nat 20. We loved the idea of my sorcerer screaming at gods so much we gave him a custom feat: Yell At God. Where he can give a cleric a second chance at divine intervention if he beats a DC 20 check. Yes this is always flavoured as him yelling at gods through their clerics, leaving the gods so baffled they just go along with my sorcerers demand. I love that story of our group so much.
Something I've noticed in DND through other stories (and my own experiences), is that big people picking up and throwing small people happens surprisingly often
That's the influence of the 1980's X-Men comics, "The Fastball Special" where Colossus would throw Wolverine at an enemy and he shreds right through them with his claws. ⚾🩸
Edit: grammar mistakes I was new to ttrpgs over all at the time. It wasnt my first time playing rpgs, but it was my fisrt time with that group of friends. The campaing had already started and i was joining late. My character found the group being captured by the enemie (at the time, they later became alies). Okay, i will have to help save the group, i thought. the DM then describes to the other players that they saw my character at the distance seeing the whole thing. The group had and npc with them that was a child and immediately after hearing the dm's description one of the player went: I throw the kid at him, and proceeded to roll a nat20. I went into shock: "WHAT THE FUCK?" DM just goes: "roll a dex save to catch the kid" Lucky me rolled a 17, but that moment got stuck in my mind till this day, it has been 5 years now The kid went on to become that kid in anime who travels with the group and is somehow untraumatized by the events happening arround her
Session 1: Our rogue refuses to lockpick doors because it's beneath him. So our tortle wizard has another solution. Locked door? Wizard shells up, gets picked up by my goliath paladin, and gets yeeted through the door like a wrecking ball that can cast Sword Burst. The second door we did this for was at the top of a greased walkway that was too steep and too slippery for us to walk through. So: Yeet the wizard up there with some rope and have him stand at the top and be the anchor for the others using the rope to climb up, since he is the heaviest by a good margin. EDIT: This was two sessions ago
I love these types of stories. I remember one time back in high school, we had a fiction club that was basically a d&d group and our english teacher was the DM. Anywho, in our campaign, we had a paladin, sorceress, barbarian and I was playing my usual human rogue. We were tasked by an archmage to take back his tower which was overrun by demons. We fought all the way up to the top of the building and (for context) our barbarian player had to go to another club that day, so the dm was temporarily controlling their pc for that day. We were met head on by a powerful archdemon that was grueling for our group. A couple fireballs here and there and our sorceress was downed, the paladin was knocked back so hard, he flew out of the room, and my rogue was barely able to pull the sorceress out to safety while nimbly dodging these giant balls of doom (my rolls were just lucky that day I guess.) It was then down to just my guy and the barbarian dwarf, who was being controlled by the dm until the player suddenly came in, said that he had time for a couple rolls before he had to go to his next after school activity. DM: Okay, so half of your party is down and you're both looking up at a fearsome, powerful demon. What do you want to do? Barb: I'll grapple it. DM: O...okay. Proceeds to, on his FIRST AND ONLY ROLL THAT DAY to roll a nat 20, grips this archdemon that was giving us all hell, and proceeded to SPARTA KICK THIS DUDE STRAIGHT OFF OF THE BUILDING and to its death. Oh, the best part was that the player was like, "Well, I have to go now!" immediately after and leaves the rest of the group completely dumbfounded and speechless.
@Filip Sobczak He was definitely destined for great things. Top of his class, in every after school activity you could think of, and super intelligent.
We have a rule, more of a running joke, in one of my campaigns that if we roll a nat 1 to attack, our attack will somehow hit this octopus balloon creature that follows the party named Nueve, no matter how far away they are (don't worry they're not hurt by our horribly wayward attacks). Also one time we rolled 2 0's in the same session (not the same person though)
@@gingermcgingin4106 they never said “nat” they just said that they rolled 0s. With modifiers, it’s still called “rolling a 0”. It’s not a nat thing, it’s just rolling a 0
I had a time when I attacked a Witch who was trying to escape. And I rolled with Advantage and rolled two Nat 20s to hit her, and killed her instantly. Poor Witch had her spine *Erased* by my Whip.
I rolled a nat20 to jump and then nat20 to hit in a "I jump as high as I can and do a horisontal slash against this hill giant".... I jumped up and decapitated it
I love finding videos like this. Reminded me of the campaign my warrior tried to kick and escaping assassin back down stairs as they came up, rolled a Nat 1 and sent himself down the stairs instead but was allowed a reactionary roll, got a nat 20 and caught the cloak of the guy as he fell and they both tumbled down to the basement lol.
2:34 if I had a nickel for every time a very much not seeing eye animal gets passed as a seeing eye animal, I’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that happened twice, right?
I love how dark paladin style characters always name their mount something cute. Current campaign has a tiefling conquest paladin (Who when I was shown the mini in Heroforge, she just looked adorable) whose mount is a massive infernal horse, coal black with red eyes and curling horns, hes bored all the time unless there is violence to enjoy and once asked if they were to help a group getting robbed on the road or walking around. His name is Muffin.
My paladin is a Goliath so i thought a horse would be too small. Instead, the dm and I worked out a stat block for a Giant White Viper for Gila to ride into battle on instead, based off a dire snake boss stat block from 3.5e that i found but with more toned down stats. Because she’s actually a Valkyrie that Gila summons in the form of a giant snake (for personal reasons) her name is Svava, an alternate form of one of the Valkyries’ names.
@@SleeeperAgent yeah, Apparelty a bunch of Comments on this Video have those Scam messages sent as replies. I've already gone and reported both people you should too I'd say
Also pretty sure the Picture of the D20 Dingo uses already has 2 6s on it, so I think it's just a D20 that is not real at all. either that, or one is a 9, in which case the 20 still doesn't replace the 6
ah yes, the chaining 20's rule, a group i had back in the day just said "keep doubling the dice on nat 20's there's no way it can end bad." and a normal ass goblin rolled like 6 nat 20's and one shot a level 17 barbarian...
My favorite Nat 20 I've ever had was actually playing as one of my first D&D characters. The party was going through a dungeon and me and one of the other party members failed an acrobatics check, falling into a pit. After finally finding some light, we found out that what we landed in was a blood pool, and we were both covered in it cause we had a CG vs CE scuffle with each other. My character comes out of a hole further down the pit's tunnel to find a bunch of lizardmen and their monarchs. At this point, I roll an intimidation check, Nat 20 and I let out a bloodcurdling roar that causes all of them to yield to me immediately as my new minions.
I love the Minotaur story, I love the creativity of throwing a tiny barbarian at the enemy, because it just so funny and hilarious to throw your allies.
@@fin-as-drago9479 yes, thanks to a ring of return. Whatever I attached one ring to would return to whatever had the other ring on. We didn't have any ranged attackers which is what lead to the dwarf being thrown to begin with.After his untimely death and the player rolling another non ranged character the rings were found in a shop at a reasonable price. So reasonable in fact that my character wore the same battered chain shirt for the entire campaign, level 1-10 in this case.
One of my favourite D20s was when in a campaign I'm currently in we were supposed to fight a dragon. Then my friend attempted to tame it, got a Nat 20 and got us a dragon. The Dm ended up having to rewrite a lot of the campaign because we essentially unlocked fast travel.
Yeah, I once kind of accidentaly gave a green dragon with wizard levels as an ally to the party. But it ended up fine as a distant ally on his tower with his scrolls and stuff. Well, not so distant, it ended up being the party's headcuarters.
Craziest Nat 20's my group ever had: Our DM rolled 5 Nat 20s at the same time to see if my familiar raven would FINALLY get drunk and my raven proved that he is a god of alcohol that would make even Dionysus jealous of how well he can hold his liquor! We were all stunned and questioning what the heck is up with my raven and what made his so immune to getting drunk. It just started out as a funny running gag the DM started that my raven was a heavy drinker (he also rolled a Nat 20 the first time my raven decided he wanted a drink), but now it's more like a challenge to actually get my dumb bird drunk. I think my raven only failed a roll once in terms of drinking, but we've stopped at so many taverns by now that it's honestly ridiculous that my raven only ever got drunk once. Not even our dragonborn paladin could outdrink this tiny bird that likes to ride on my shoulder and talk smack with the party! I don't know how he does it, but I'm not even going to question it anymore because we are so past the point of logic by now with this bird! Funny side note: We find it absolutely hilarious that my raven familiar is the heaviest drinker in the party, but I, the actual player, don't drink at all. We've even made jokes about me being an Irish and Scottish lassie who does not drink yet my raven can drink 6 whole barrels of strong liquor that rendered even the biggest guys in our party to a hot mess.
First campaign I ever played in, our party decides to make a business of taking odd jobs. The bard and I decide to make flyers as advertising. The DM tells us to roll arts and crafts (partially as a joke) and we both roll nat 20s. We made the best flyers the realm had ever seen.
So my favorite story just happened in a campaign where me and my sister are both players in this group, ( bit of background, my sisters character just died the previous session and is introducing their new character who is this rabbit person bard.) she was talking about how she had nothing to do on this deserted island but play the drums for the past two years, so I was like “so you’re good then?” And she just took that as her cue to start playing, first roll for her character was a nat 20! So me and the entire group was moved to tears by this amazing performance and immediately Decided she HAD to join us to play music on the road. Later we arrived at a tavern and I was introducing her to the npcs at the bar, she decided to play a tune, second nat fucking 20! Hype was had considering those where her only two rolls lol.
A long time ago my friends and were being stealthy sneaking through a cave when we came across a busy tunnel intersection, my Fey corgi fighter loved to jump so I decided that instead of just sneaking across the tunnel intersection to continue the way we were going, I’d use my superior athleticism to just leap across, I was asked to roll for the jump and to stay quiet… nat 20 on the jump… but nat 1 on the stealth… so I let out a loud “Yahooooooooo!” As I Leaped across… and the hobgoblins were confused because they heard it and turned to see nothing because I was a blur across their view xD we won the combat and continued the dungeon delving. Also yeah thri-kreen get the mad mad hops
Once in a Wild West themed campaign, our rogue was in a western duel, pulled back his bow, rolled a 3, and shot an arrow straight at the enemy while I the bard was playing the good, the bad and the ugly(in game). The shot fired, soared majestically through the air, and we watched this perfect shot . . . hit the rogue in the foot. Nat 3 everybody.
So, my fave nat1 will always be my introduction to the group I play with nowadays. I joined the campaign a few sessions in, invited by a friend (who has since left the group). We were playing Pathfinder, and what had happened when I joined is that the Tiefling of the party had been captured by an angry mob and was going to be publicly executed just for being a Tiefling. I decided to play a rogue, whose signature weapon was a wrist-mounted dart launcher with which he fired poisoned knock-out darts (he was a bit more of a pacifist-like character who hated the idea of killing anyone). So, I snuck into the crowd, and as the Tiefling was being lead onto the stage to the executioner’s block, my plan was to dart the executioner, rush in and grab the gal, and scamper off into the crowd. Things… didn’t go to plan. I rolled to hit the executioner… Natural 1. DM rolled the fumble, and I hit a nearby target. Who was the only nearby target? The Tiefling, who promptly collapsed onto the chopping block like they WANTED to die… Thankfully, once the laughter of the table died down, the DM said that in the confusion, I could still attempt my rescue plan, which otherwise went off without a hitch, the other PCs covering my escape by fighting off the guards without my guy even realising it. So yea, not the greatest way to introduce a new character to the party, but a damn memorable one lol
How serendipitous! Last night, we wrapped up a campaign where my character (a half-orc druid) _also_ had a Nightmare as a mount. Her name was Strawberry.
Ahhh, this reminds me of my favorite one shot and my cursed green d20. It was just me and my best friend, with me DMing, and she was playing a wood elf lass named Thora. Feisty as all hell, never backs down from a challenge type of gal, and both of us knew it. Thora was making her way out of a delta set in a lil homebrew of mine, which was chock-full of rather trigger-happy (for lack of better term) water spirits that curse pretty much anything and anyone that touched their water without permission. And there was *alot* of water she had to get by. I... should also mention the spirits most commonly took the form of 20-50 foot snakes. So, I had my friend roll to avoid the water, and to our surprise, she got a nat 20. Thora hops gracefully across cypress knees, completely unharmed. We roll again, and another nat 20. At this point, Thora is pirouetting over the cypress knees, we're laughing and getting invested, so we roll again. ANOTHER nat 20. We look at each other in shock as i continue to describe the scene. Friend rolls again, and who would've guessed, another darn nat 20. Now we both knew Thora doesn’t know how to quit while she's ahead, and were getting a bit nervous because there's no way this luck will last forever. My friend rolls.... and Thora slips and falls into the water and angers a 50ft water spirit with her nat 1. And this is why that d20 is forever in dice jail lmao
Dwarf: *falls off mountain* DM: what do you do? Player: I flap my arms DM: what? Player: I have nothing better *roll* Oh hey Nat 20 DM: you look and see- somehow- a dwarf flaping like a bird so hard he's flying back onto the mountain ... Because as a Dwarf he is not bound to your human physics
7:00 "God just determined that this specific thing **shows a bored ape NFT** had to die" I might be an agnostic and weak atheist, but I gotta say I agree with "god" here. Also, I loved your house rule for "confirming" nat 20s: it's kinda like the confirmation rolls for crits in Pathfinder, but a bit more lenient (since in your system you still deal crit damage even if you get a 1 in the second roll) and with an interesting "surprise element" (the insta-kill on the 3rd nat 20).
hhhhhh seeing a word you've seen before in a will wood song and foaming at the mouth,,, "Run your diagnostic tests, it's posited nobody dies agnostic but you still dial 9-1-1"
The probability of 3 20's in a row is 0,000125%... Inta kill is too small of a feat for such dice insanity I feel like at this point the skies should open up, a giant hand come out and crush the big bad, squeezing him, blood running between the giant fingers, then you all showered by that blood raining down on you instantly become demi-gods
I still remember when my character was trying to balance across a pit with a backpack full of alchemist fire. And fell in. And one of the vial’s exploded, which makes the rest of the vials explode. And just sees flames roar from the pit like in Austin powers
I remember my first ever time playing DnD, my brother's character, a human paladin, managed to convince two goblin guards that his Lizardfolk cousin Juan was in the cave they were guarding and that we needed to go in to find them with a nat 20. It was his first time playing and his first roll as well.
One of my friend back in the day of 3.5, 90% of the time when a party member was downed, he would run up with his barbarian shout ''You killed my friend!'' and then crit, all the time!
In case anyone didn’t want to do the math, if he rolled nat 1s on every single 8d8 12 times, he would still take 96 hit points 😅4:54 I assume he was absolutely annihilated
I had a player who I forgot if it was a nat 20 but it was definitely a high roll succeeded to convince the entire city guard that he is the god of bloodshed and managed to later become an unplayable character via ascending to a god. Morale of the story I'm a chaotic DM with chaotic players
The campaign I'm in now is a Percy Jackson setting so we're at camp half-blood, and I was looking for someone from the Hephaestus cabin. I rolled a nat 20 on investigation so the DM told a funny, non-canonical, plotline where I found Hephaestus himself in the shower
Mt favorite nat one story is: I was playing starfinder with a few friends and we were fighting a Robot dragon. One of my players had taken the eye out of the dragon and thrown it to another player, who wanted to throw it at something else. He rolled a nat 1. He threw the eye with a perfect spiral, and it screwed it back in. It was great
So, the one story I tend to tell, my friend was playing a Drau Rogue and had this over powered wristlet crossbow. All he had to do to hit was roll a 3 on the dice most of the time. Well, our party is storming a fortress of mages who basically kill all non-humans and non-mages, so naturally Siege Weapons are involved. The rogue sees a catapult launch a bolder at him, so he readies and fires an explosive bolt, trying to be cool and shoot it out of the air. Well, the catapult's crew all rolled nat 20s to prep, aim, and fire. My friend... a nat 1. So the bolt kinda just slides out and explodes at his feet. He then looks up as he is hit by a bolder that dealt not double, not triple, but 8x his hp in damage. All he would've needed to do is a dex save, but he wanted to be cool. So, DM flavored it as he got hit so hard, he went straight to hell and landed in the satan's bathtub while he was taking a bath. The devil watched how he died, got such a laugh, he sent him back to do his death saving throws.
We decided to dial back the crazyness of nat 20 and 1. Because, while nat 20s at the right time are awesome, rolling a nat 1 and killing your comrade or shattering your magic axe is more depressing than 5 nat 20s can alleviate. Though our DM decided to instead reward creativity: if things are going bad but we can think of something creative that would make sense both in world and for our character to do, he will usually make sure that it happens, which can lead to some badass, climactic moments.
My friend had me sit in as a guest to play the BBEG at the end of his campaign and one of his players rolled a nat 20 to make me nauseous. Because I was the BBEG and had ludicrous resistance, the DM decides that I can roll to resist with a whole scale of how bad the nausea could possibly be. I rolled a 1. The BBEG started vomiting mid-monologue and the team just ganked him before he could get up to summon his allies.
That sounds like the most anti-climactic thing to happen ever. Here is the BBEG: the thing you have been fighting against, running away from and now it is just emptying it's stomach because some nauseous-causing spell? Bosses have epic resistances, because they need to feel hard to beat. You still need to beat the resistance of the defender to be able to critically hit them. So if the resistance is 31 and you rolled 20 and had a total bonus of +10, it still doesn't do shit. But hey, I must be too old-school for these high-endorfine run games. I'll see myself to the door, I get it: you don't want reality to intervene in your fantasy-game.
Dingo: "If I had a nickel for every time I had to lie to smuggle something weird into someplace as a seeing-eye something, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice."
My favorite nat 1(three pete in the same session) Running a custom race, which was set up as a hunting tribe, tactician ranger from 1e pathfinder(we had 6 people so I couldn't do a pet as it would take too long) Well we tracked some golem into a mine, me and the rogue took 2 paths in stealth while the party rested from the last encounter as we took no damage, I roll a 28 and 26 on survival and stealth and find the golems trail, go back to get the others, we get told to roll a perception, and i roll a 1... and disappear from everyone's sight and end up in a gargoyle den, got out with our (large) barbarian flying rage into it while I was starting to get flown off in its claws Few hours later doing tracking again out doors in a forest, nat 1, and I disappear into the undergrowth, and land in front of 3 golems, I realize I'm alone with a decent perception so I try to stealth out of there(btw a +13 on stealth) and roll a nat 1 waking up the three golems with a twig snap that was heard half a mile away... the characters name was trailrunner, and ever since our group says we trailran when we get nat 1s or botches in WoD games
I think my favorite series of nat 20's I've ever witnessed was when the party (I was the DM) was fighting an ancient black dragon. The artificer shoots the giant stone throne with his portable ballista with a rope tied to it. The rogue, who had climbed to the top of the throne, jumps down and uses the rope to fly into the air, gets a nat 20 acrobatics and swan dives with a dagger straight into the dragon's eye getting _another_ nat 20. Then the warlock crits with eldritch blast for insult to injury.
Just had a fun DND story for today: so I’m playing this little level 2 wild magic sorcerer (her name’s Aurelia :)), and I go to cast the spell “ray of frost”, but it does the wild thing, as it do. And it turns into “magic missile” at 5th level, which makes me do 29 damage instead of the 1-8 I would’ve done with “ray of frost”. Awesome, right? Well this battle we weren’t supposed to get anywhere near winning (because, you know, plot stuff), and by the time the player before me and I had gone it was down half health. Our other three players managed to do like 5 health between them, but like, our DM was just “that wasn’t supposed to happen!” Fun times :)
As someone who never played a single game of D&D but know the bare minimum of the surface knowledge of the D&D lore (thanks matpat) find this vid pretty funny
3:33 My favorite Nat 20 started my Pathfinder group's in joke of "I read it in a book!" There was me, a Rogue, our Paladin, a Winter Witch (basically, fireball is reflavoured as Snowball with ice instead of burn damage) and the Fighter. We were looking for a Hidden Temple to... one of the gods. I forget. But it was lost. _We_ were lost. Way lost. So we got to talking, in-character and out, about the surrounding terrain, and how everyone was annoyed no one had thought to put points into Knowledge: Geography. "Hey," says my Rogue, interrupting the Witch and Paladin's argument. "We're in the County of Chaos, just a few leagues from the Sandpits of Sorrow, right? I read a book of funny stories to my sister about this place, once! I wonder if those dotty rhymes had any clues. If I remember correctly, then..." *Nat 20* The GM then had to come up with some rhymes, limericks, and jokes (with my and the others' input, of course!) that would end up giving us some form of directions to our destination. He started out a bit annoyed, but then we were all laughing over dumb jokes, and we ended up not having *any* random encounters, because "you remembered the book's japes and glib remarks so thoroughly, that you've begun recognizing the hidden warnings in the world around you." The previous session was when we entered the area, and our first encounter had been a Kraken. We were level 3. Being able to just *not* deal with random encounters was well worth not levelling up until the next session, and it only took three sessions for someone else to pull the "read it in a book once" for a Knowledge check to get around our group's lack of political intrigue. Fun times! As for my favorite Nat 1 story... Same Pathfinder campaign as the Nat 20 story, our very first session where we're actually doing a thing. And that thing was... travelling to a Temple. The Sun Queen's Temple. Which really shouldn't have been very difficult whatsoever, but a few of our encounters with bandits and the like meant we had to keep reorienting ourselves, and as the Rogue (not to mention I had wings and could fly), it was my job to get up to a vantage point and get our bearings. I did so three times. I rolled Nat 1s three times. Our GM decided, on the third, that I saw the Temple-and that sunlight glinting off its golden bell tower blinds me, and leaves me unable to swear. I couldn't curse, I couldn't even *not-curse.* No "Aw shucks!" or "This whomps!" for me, no sir! And I stuck with it all the way until the end of the campaign (nearly two years later IRL), when we got to meet the Sun Queen in person, and the DM granted my character the honor of being the newly Ascended Goddess of Knowledge's High Priest. He had a Rogue with levels in Shadowdancer become a Priest. All because I stuck with a "curse" he'd completely forgotten he'd applied to me because of a few hilariously unlucky Perception checks. I still laugh about the absurdity!
In my campaign the evil necromancer fell down a building after trying to dramatically watch my players and barely survived only to fail to defend himself against a single wolf.
In my first campaign that I've played, our characters snuck onto a pirate ship, went downstairs, and saw most of the crewmates hammered. One of my friends suggested flashing them to distract them, I took that as a challenge and had my character flash them. It didn't work and it kinda became a running joke in our group to take their shirt off once in each campaign.
One of my favorites for a campaign I was running has nothing to do with the outcome but the sheer amount of crits. This comes from the fact my friend was a high level fighter with Two-weapon Fighting and ended up getting 4 Nat 1s and 2 Nat 20s in a single turn
3 nat 20? I like that. In my campaigns I always allow a reroll if someone rolls a 7. If they get two 7, then they get to roll for a 3rd one. 7 7 7 = Nat 20+
My favourite time is onetime me and my friends were doing this star-wars one shot for may the 4th, at the start we were in this cave and obtained our lightsabers. The dm was very good at making things interesting and different from the average campaign so he had us roll for our weapons stats during the campaign as we found or sabers. One of my friends his name is Caleb got really unlucky, he had a broken lightsaber that was radio active and very dangerous to everyone around it, but then after he we were done the dm looked over to Caleb and asks him to do one more roll… Nat 1 he looks Caleb dead in the eyes and just says, you have cancer. And then just moved on with the campaign
I love that the Sandstorm had frigging SandBelts in it, but i can't help but feel it would've been a MASTERPIECE to have a still image of the lady running down the steps from Darude Sandstorm.
So, my very first session was interesting. First attack I ever made in my first combat went as follows: I swing at a kobold, but I roll a nat 1. My dm decides to have fun with it. I proceed to roll another nat 1 immediately after then a nat 20. I missed, and ended up throwing my shield at a tree in the process, but I threw it so hard it broke the tree and crushed the assaulting kobolds and our paladin who managed to blind himself at the start thus ending the combat. This perfectly sums up my luck, always failing spectacularly

@@pitioti Bucket said no
the fact that the three nat 20s followed by a nat one was a one in 160,000 chance and it actually happened is just fan-fucking-tastic
Two of my friends have super bizarre luck. One of them managed to get 4 nat 20's in a row on consecutive attacks across his turns. The odds of this happening is 6.25e-4%, or 0.000625%. He was playing a moon druid, and was in spider form, so it resulted in us basically capturing an entire squadron of goblin ambushers, since spider venom KO's and doesn't kill.
Meanwhile another friend of mine has horrid luck, where the average of all his dice rolls per session is usually around 5. On 3 separate occasions, when he's used inspiration or had advantage, he's managed to get double nat 1's. He'll shove a target prone just fine, and then go in for the attack and still manage to flub it. He'll try to kick in a door, using expertise in athletics, and just smash his face into it.
hahaha that's amazing 🤣
I did the opposite in 2 campaigns, one i went to kick down the door, rolled a nat 20 and SHATTERED MY SHINS as the door was protected by magic so any force dealt to it was dealt to the attacker, and seeing as i was a wizard. . . I immediately went down
Next, we had just entered the main town of the campaign, we walk to the tavern, and I, in my all knowing mind, thought it would be a saloon door and decided to kick it open to be all cool, i roll a nat 20 and break the door... The owner wasnt happy with me
I had a friend with terrible rolls too. To give you an idea of how bad they were, I don't think he ever hit a _single_ attack. The campaign only lasted like 5 sessions maximum, so it's not _that_ weird, but still...not a single hit. Meanwhile I would roll really highly and killed a magical flying alligator with a single punch of my bare fist.
I had created an Elf Archer(both Prestige classes for 3.0 DnD that focused on the Bow).
I could hit ANYTHING I could see.
After a month of playing I was attacked in melee and player panicked as I didn't have ANY melee weapon. I ran for an assist from a Party Member.
After the combat, was accused of being Ill-Prepared.
I pointed out, "Melee weapons seem to be cursed in my hands."
They scoffed and gave me a Masterwork Longsword, I thanked them.
Next combat, I needed to use the sword, I swung.
My Initiative was 18, an enemy was attacking our Fighter, it's Initiative was 17.Nobody else had an 18 or 17.
Nat 1
"Roll again to see how badly." the DM said
Nat 1.
"Ugh, let's see what happens." DM grabs the "Chaos Dice" which are the Percentile Die.
100
"Your sword flies out of your hands, bounces off the back of the Fighter's shield, forcing him to drop his guard."
The enemy the Fighter was dealing with gets a +2 to his attack because the shield wasn't being used.
16+2, Fighters AC was 17.
I was never permitted to use a melee weapon in that campaign again.

My son was the DM for a small group of his friends, all fairly new at the game. The party is attacked by goblins. One of his friends decides to attack with a chorizo (he somehow had chorizos in his kit). Well, one not 20 later and a goblin chokes to death on a chorizo that was shoved down his throat. I’m in the other room listening to this (their entire campaign was going this way) and just dying.
Reminds me of something similar from my first one-shot. At that point I wasn't really taking the game seriously. I just wanted to goof off, so I basically made my character this weird alien abomination that would intentionally do the dumbest things (don't worry, besides the DM it was everyone else's first game too). Well by the end of the one-shot, I had acquired a bunch of carrots in my inventory, and we were just about to meet a backstory NPC. Literally as soon as we started talking to her, my character decided he was bored. So he walked up to her, put a hand on her shoulder, and shoved a carrot up her nose. The DM asked me to roll for it, and I got a natural 20. Seconds later she's on the floor, dead, with brain juice and bits of carrot spilling out of her nose.
I'd never do something like this again, but it's still one of my favorite stories because of how ridiculous it is.
So basically his character wanted to re-enact Coco but never got to the last part of the movie?

Me: "Nat 20!"
DM: "For a total of? This guy got a thirty-"
Me: "Thirty-seven!"
DM: "Thirty-one... Bruh."
So anyways, I ate an angel's soul because he couldn't Arcana better than I could. It was neat. Nothing's happened yet because of it, but hey, it happened!
Not many things make your stomach knot up than that phrase; "for a total of" when you roll a 20 expecting to do something monumental.

My favorite Nat 20 moment is when my 4 friends and I were playing all bards (all 5 different subclasses). We were on our way to "diplomatically" end a civil war. When we got there a big battle was already happening and we just said "let's do this". So we all role for performance... 4 of us rolled a Nat 20 and the 5th person high rolled. We ended a bloody civil war with the power of song and dance.

I have a friend who was in my dnd club in highschool who played our first ever campaign as a monk with a cooking set that he was proficient in cause he had the cook background. Every time he went to cook though, he got a nat 1 and poisoned everyone. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
You could say his cooking was KILLER :D
So he was supposed to be a good cook but he didn’t know how to cook
Well know we know what he was a cooks for
I was hosting a campaign while almost everyone at the table was brand new to the game, I finish my opening description of the area and one of my players just says “I hit a fat whip” and, as a joke, I say “roll for it”.

Our group in Rise of Tiamat ended up buying a mule, which we then doted on and later juiced up with a whole bunch of magic items, which was basically all of the mount related ones such as Zephyr Horseshoe, a magical saddle, and a freaking +2 Plate Mail Barding that cost so god damn much that we crashed the economy. Our DM then decided that the mule was actually a legendary dragon who got True Poly'd by Bahamut as punishment for some thing, and with our Not-Mule-Actual-Dragon we beat Tiamat, yay!
that reminds me of the story of Journey to the West where the monk's horse is actually a dragon and it only gets brought up again like, 2 or 3 times after the dragon becomes the horse.
hahaha love these dnd stories xD
One of my best moments was rolling a 1.
We were trying to sneak up on some guards.
I decided to use an attack that let me teleport behind them.
I rolled a 1, and said I'm going to the bar and just walked off I heard the DM say "his character disappears, and you hear a crash in the Inn..."
I just have the mental image of a guard hearing a small *pop* from behind, feeling the whoosh of air as a blade comes for his throat and sneezing at just that moment, accidentally ducking the attack and hip checking the assailant into an open beer stein.
The moments of Nat 1’s and Nat 20’s are always insane!
Hello there
That’s so true with a Nat one it’s often the most crucial moment and u instantly fail 🎉 but as Brennan from Dimension 20 fantasy high episode 10 says “with a Nat 20 anything is possible”
Hi narrator!
My two favorite you tubers I one place
NARRATOR?!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I love nat 20's and nat 1's myself, though pathfinder sometimes makes 18's and 19's just as scary. I play alot of pathfinder.
1e or 2e?
I mean, 1e pathfinder's nat 1s are not as scary (its roll20 favorite number...) since it doesnt auto miss in skill checks and the worst thing that happens in that you miss an attack. He do have Dingo's triple 20 rule, but it was never come up... But also nat 20 on skills is just a really high number...
Gotta love having a 15-20 Crit Range, with a DM who uses the Critical Decks.
Great stories.
My best was when a party member tried to Intimidate a Gelatinous Cube, for some reason, and said "You look rather tasty", then roled a Nat 1, so the DM decided that the Player Character was instantly eaten by the Cube.
Nat 20: My dwarf fighter, picks up a goblin and uses him as a weapon to kill five other goblins

HOW DID I STAB MYSEL- oof
Nat 20's and Nat 1's are what I live for. Absolute favourite moment was that time our parties cleric failed to use divine intervention to stop a fleeing vampire. Cue my sorcerer grabbing the cleric and effectively using him as a phone line to call up his god(Heimdall, if anyone's curious) and yell at him until he gave us a second divine intervention roll. All thanks to a single nat 20. We loved the idea of my sorcerer screaming at gods so much we gave him a custom feat: Yell At God. Where he can give a cleric a second chance at divine intervention if he beats a DC 20 check. Yes this is always flavoured as him yelling at gods through their clerics, leaving the gods so baffled they just go along with my sorcerers demand. I love that story of our group so much.
Something I've noticed in DND through other stories (and my own experiences), is that big people picking up and throwing small people happens surprisingly often
That's the influence of the 1980's X-Men comics, "The Fastball Special" where Colossus would throw Wolverine at an enemy and he shreds right through them with his claws. ⚾🩸
Dude that’s like action rule number 30 if there’s a big character they must yeet a smaller person
Never underestimate the Fastball Special
I'm so glad another group has its own "Yeet the Baby" story with Gerk
One of my group's had a Minotaur barbarian, or fighter; and a goblin rogue. "I throw the Goblin at it," became a pretty regular phrase.
Edit: grammar mistakes
I was new to ttrpgs over all at the time. It wasnt my first time playing rpgs, but it was my fisrt time with that group of friends. The campaing had already started and i was joining late. My character found the group being captured by the enemie (at the time, they later became alies). Okay, i will have to help save the group, i thought.
the DM then describes to the other players that they saw my character at the distance seeing the whole thing. The group had and npc with them that was a child and immediately after hearing the dm's description one of the player went: I throw the kid at him, and proceeded to roll a nat20.
I went into shock: "WHAT THE FUCK?"
DM just goes: "roll a dex save to catch the kid"
Lucky me rolled a 17, but that moment got stuck in my mind till this day, it has been 5 years now
The kid went on to become that kid in anime who travels with the group and is somehow untraumatized by the events happening arround her
Session 1: Our rogue refuses to lockpick doors because it's beneath him. So our tortle wizard has another solution. Locked door? Wizard shells up, gets picked up by my goliath paladin, and gets yeeted through the door like a wrecking ball that can cast Sword Burst. The second door we did this for was at the top of a greased walkway that was too steep and too slippery for us to walk through. So: Yeet the wizard up there with some rope and have him stand at the top and be the anchor for the others using the rope to climb up, since he is the heaviest by a good margin.
EDIT: This was two sessions ago

I love these types of stories. I remember one time back in high school, we had a fiction club that was basically a d&d group and our english teacher was the DM.
Anywho, in our campaign, we had a paladin, sorceress, barbarian and I was playing my usual human rogue. We were tasked by an archmage to take back his tower which was overrun by demons. We fought all the way up to the top of the building and (for context) our barbarian player had to go to another club that day, so the dm was temporarily controlling their pc for that day. We were met head on by a powerful archdemon that was grueling for our group. A couple fireballs here and there and our sorceress was downed, the paladin was knocked back so hard, he flew out of the room, and my rogue was barely able to pull the sorceress out to safety while nimbly dodging these giant balls of doom (my rolls were just lucky that day I guess.) It was then down to just my guy and the barbarian dwarf, who was being controlled by the dm until the player suddenly came in, said that he had time for a couple rolls before he had to go to his next after school activity.
DM: Okay, so half of your party is down and you're both looking up at a fearsome, powerful demon. What do you want to do?
Barb: I'll grapple it.
DM: O...okay.
Proceeds to, on his FIRST AND ONLY ROLL THAT DAY to roll a nat 20, grips this archdemon that was giving us all hell, and proceeded to SPARTA KICK THIS DUDE STRAIGHT OFF OF THE BUILDING and to its death.
Oh, the best part was that the player was like, "Well, I have to go now!" immediately after and leaves the rest of the group completely dumbfounded and speechless.
YES! Heckya, that's how you do it.
He just "my work here, is done" then peaces out

@Filip Sobczak He was definitely destined for great things. Top of his class, in every after school activity you could think of, and super intelligent.
We have a rule, more of a running joke, in one of my campaigns that if we roll a nat 1 to attack, our attack will somehow hit this octopus balloon creature that follows the party named Nueve, no matter how far away they are (don't worry they're not hurt by our horribly wayward attacks). Also one time we rolled 2 0's in the same session (not the same person though)
How do you get a nat 0? Like I understand having a -1 mod and rolling a 1, but that's not a nat 0. Did you have a custom D21 or something?

Current campaign has a tiefling conquest paladin (Who when I was shown the mini in Heroforge, she just looked adorable) whose mount is a massive infernal horse, coal black with red eyes and curling horns, hes bored all the time unless there is violence to enjoy and once asked if they were to help a group getting robbed on the road or walking around.
His name is Muffin.
My paladin is a Goliath so i thought a horse would be too small. Instead, the dm and I worked out a stat block for a Giant White Viper for Gila to ride into battle on instead, based off a dire snake boss stat block from 3.5e that i found but with more toned down stats. Because she’s actually a Valkyrie that Gila summons in the form of a giant snake (for personal reasons) her name is Svava, an alternate form of one of the Valkyries’ names.
Awwwwwwwwwww muffin he’s perfect
7:20 God came down and decided basically 4 Nats in a row.
I Love how the dice representing a Nat 20 is actually a 6
God, what are These Scam Messages. Anyways, gotta double check if that's really the case with the Nat 20
Its an overhead view on the nat 20
Glad I'm not the only one to see that, I was really confused 😄
@@SleeeperAgent yeah, Apparelty a bunch of Comments on this Video have those Scam messages sent as replies. I've already gone and reported both people you should too I'd say
Also pretty sure the Picture of the D20 Dingo uses already has 2 6s on it, so I think it's just a D20 that is not real at all. either that, or one is a 9, in which case the 20 still doesn't replace the 6
ah yes, the chaining 20's rule, a group i had back in the day just said "keep doubling the dice on nat 20's there's no way it can end bad." and a normal ass goblin rolled like 6 nat 20's and one shot a level 17 barbarian...
i mean if that aint the chosen goblin of death i dont know what is
The dice gods have spoken, that barbarian needs to die
My favorite Nat 20 I've ever had was actually playing as one of my first D&D characters. The party was going through a dungeon and me and one of the other party members failed an acrobatics check, falling into a pit. After finally finding some light, we found out that what we landed in was a blood pool, and we were both covered in it cause we had a CG vs CE scuffle with each other. My character comes out of a hole further down the pit's tunnel to find a bunch of lizardmen and their monarchs. At this point, I roll an intimidation check, Nat 20 and I let out a bloodcurdling roar that causes all of them to yield to me immediately as my new minions.
They just heard a god of blood suddenly spawn from a pit and scream to the heavens :v
I laughed out loud at “seeing eye mushroom.” Love it.
I love the Minotaur story, I love the creativity of throwing a tiny barbarian at the enemy, because it just so funny and hilarious to throw your allies.
Now, imagine that tiny Minotaur GERMAN SUPLEXing the boss. Ahhh, good times...
Hades vibes
I once threw the part dwarf at some enemies, at his request. He did not survive and I got his axe. I threw that too.
@@seanpeacock4290 sometimes there is risk and rewards (and for the laughs) also did you still have the axe after you threw it?
@@fin-as-drago9479 yes, thanks to a ring of return. Whatever I attached one ring to would return to whatever had the other ring on. We didn't have any ranged attackers which is what lead to the dwarf being thrown to begin with.After his untimely death and the player rolling another non ranged character the rings were found in a shop at a reasonable price. So reasonable in fact that my character wore the same battered chain shirt for the entire campaign, level 1-10 in this case.
“So i was playing this... monkey?” Hurts so much more after hearing about DND Ka-re-oke!
One of my favourite D20s was when in a campaign I'm currently in we were supposed to fight a dragon. Then my friend attempted to tame it, got a Nat 20 and got us a dragon. The Dm ended up having to rewrite a lot of the campaign because we essentially unlocked fast travel.
Yeah, I once kind of accidentaly gave a green dragon with wizard levels as an ally to the party. But it ended up fine as a distant ally on his tower with his scrolls and stuff. Well, not so distant, it ended up being the party's headcuarters.
Craziest Nat 20's my group ever had: Our DM rolled 5 Nat 20s at the same time to see if my familiar raven would FINALLY get drunk and my raven proved that he is a god of alcohol that would make even Dionysus jealous of how well he can hold his liquor! We were all stunned and questioning what the heck is up with my raven and what made his so immune to getting drunk. It just started out as a funny running gag the DM started that my raven was a heavy drinker (he also rolled a Nat 20 the first time my raven decided he wanted a drink), but now it's more like a challenge to actually get my dumb bird drunk. I think my raven only failed a roll once in terms of drinking, but we've stopped at so many taverns by now that it's honestly ridiculous that my raven only ever got drunk once. Not even our dragonborn paladin could outdrink this tiny bird that likes to ride on my shoulder and talk smack with the party! I don't know how he does it, but I'm not even going to question it anymore because we are so past the point of logic by now with this bird!
Funny side note: We find it absolutely hilarious that my raven familiar is the heaviest drinker in the party, but I, the actual player, don't drink at all. We've even made jokes about me being an Irish and Scottish lassie who does not drink yet my raven can drink 6 whole barrels of strong liquor that rendered even the biggest guys in our party to a hot mess.
your dm rolled to get your raven drunk and roller 5 d20’s?? And it stayed sober?
@@jamesratcliffe1503 Yup. That's been one of our craziest moments yet in the campaign.
@@Midnight3Wonder that man's a god
@@A_Weird_Angel The DM or the raven?
Lol
First campaign I ever played in, our party decides to make a business of taking odd jobs. The bard and I decide to make flyers as advertising. The DM tells us to roll arts and crafts (partially as a joke) and we both roll nat 20s. We made the best flyers the realm had ever seen.
So my favorite story just happened in a campaign where me and my sister are both players in this group, ( bit of background, my sisters character just died the previous session and is introducing their new character who is this rabbit person bard.) she was talking about how she had nothing to do on this deserted island but play the drums for the past two years, so I was like “so you’re good then?” And she just took that as her cue to start playing, first roll for her character was a nat 20! So me and the entire group was moved to tears by this amazing performance and immediately Decided she HAD to join us to play music on the road. Later we arrived at a tavern and I was introducing her to the npcs at the bar, she decided to play a tune, second nat fucking 20! Hype was had considering those where her only two rolls lol.
A long time ago my friends and were being stealthy sneaking through a cave when we came across a busy tunnel intersection, my Fey corgi fighter loved to jump so I decided that instead of just sneaking across the tunnel intersection to continue the way we were going, I’d use my superior athleticism to just leap across, I was asked to roll for the jump and to stay quiet… nat 20 on the jump… but nat 1 on the stealth… so I let out a loud “Yahooooooooo!” As I Leaped across… and the hobgoblins were confused because they heard it and turned to see nothing because I was a blur across their view xD we won the combat and continued the dungeon delving.
Also yeah thri-kreen get the mad mad hops
Once in a Wild West themed campaign, our rogue was in a western duel, pulled back his bow, rolled a 3, and shot an arrow straight at the enemy while I the bard was playing the good, the bad and the ugly(in game). The shot fired, soared majestically through the air, and we watched this perfect shot . . . hit the rogue in the foot. Nat 3 everybody.
Later another character did the same thing with a rifle(same fight)
When you got to "seeing eye mushroom" my ability to breathe vanished I was laughing so hard.
Rolled a nat one on survival huh?
I’ve decided that i love gerk, and he must be protected at all costs
He one-shotted a black dragon. I don't think he needs protection.
Honestly I need protection from him he seems terrifying
Me just looking at their shirt and thinking, “IS THAT ALL MIGHT?!?!”
So, my fave nat1 will always be my introduction to the group I play with nowadays.
I joined the campaign a few sessions in, invited by a friend (who has since left the group).
We were playing Pathfinder, and what had happened when I joined is that the Tiefling of the party had been captured by an angry mob and was going to be publicly executed just for being a Tiefling.
I decided to play a rogue, whose signature weapon was a wrist-mounted dart launcher with which he fired poisoned knock-out darts (he was a bit more of a pacifist-like character who hated the idea of killing anyone).
So, I snuck into the crowd, and as the Tiefling was being lead onto the stage to the executioner’s block, my plan was to dart the executioner, rush in and grab the gal, and scamper off into the crowd.
Things… didn’t go to plan.
I rolled to hit the executioner… Natural 1. DM rolled the fumble, and I hit a nearby target. Who was the only nearby target? The Tiefling, who promptly collapsed onto the chopping block like they WANTED to die…
Thankfully, once the laughter of the table died down, the DM said that in the confusion, I could still attempt my rescue plan, which otherwise went off without a hitch, the other PCs covering my escape by fighting off the guards without my guy even realising it.
So yea, not the greatest way to introduce a new character to the party, but a damn memorable one lol
How serendipitous! Last night, we wrapped up a campaign where my character (a half-orc druid) _also_ had a Nightmare as a mount.
Her name was Strawberry.
Oh my gosh, three Nat 20’s in a row AND a Nat 1, the odds of that are LITERALLY ONE IN 160,000!!!!!!!!!
Ahhh, this reminds me of my favorite one shot and my cursed green d20.
It was just me and my best friend, with me DMing, and she was playing a wood elf lass named Thora. Feisty as all hell, never backs down from a challenge type of gal, and both of us knew it.
Thora was making her way out of a delta set in a lil homebrew of mine, which was chock-full of rather trigger-happy (for lack of better term) water spirits that curse pretty much anything and anyone that touched their water without permission. And there was *alot* of water she had to get by. I... should also mention the spirits most commonly took the form of 20-50 foot snakes.
So, I had my friend roll to avoid the water, and to our surprise, she got a nat 20. Thora hops gracefully across cypress knees, completely unharmed. We roll again, and another nat 20. At this point, Thora is pirouetting over the cypress knees, we're laughing and getting invested, so we roll again. ANOTHER nat 20. We look at each other in shock as i continue to describe the scene. Friend rolls again, and who would've guessed, another darn nat 20.
Now we both knew Thora doesn’t know how to quit while she's ahead, and were getting a bit nervous because there's no way this luck will last forever. My friend rolls.... and Thora slips and falls into the water and angers a 50ft water spirit with her nat 1.
And this is why that d20 is forever in dice jail lmao
Dwarf: *falls off mountain*
DM: what do you do?
Player: I flap my arms
DM: what?
Player: I have nothing better *roll* Oh hey Nat 20
DM: you look and see- somehow- a dwarf flaping like a bird so hard he's flying back onto the mountain ... Because as a Dwarf he is not bound to your human physics
According to all known laws of aviation...
"Roll to hit the ground"

@@blunderbus2695 player: i roll to brew a death potion

If I were DM i would say a freak gust of wind saved him and he fell flat on his face.
I love the intense frown that Gerk has the entire time it’s so cute😂
7:00 "God just determined that this specific thing **shows a bored ape NFT** had to die" I might be an agnostic and weak atheist, but I gotta say I agree with "god" here. Also, I loved your house rule for "confirming" nat 20s: it's kinda like the confirmation rolls for crits in Pathfinder, but a bit more lenient (since in your system you still deal crit damage even if you get a 1 in the second roll) and with an interesting "surprise element" (the insta-kill on the 3rd nat 20).
hhhhhh seeing a word you've seen before in a will wood song and foaming at the mouth,,, "Run your diagnostic tests, it's posited nobody dies agnostic but you still dial 9-1-1"
I love that chaos just follows you guys everywhere in every iteration.
It's like that meme about DnD campaigns being less like LotR and more like Always Sunny in the Forgotten Realms.
The probability of 3 20's in a row is 0,000125%... Inta kill is too small of a feat for such dice insanity
I feel like at this point the skies should open up, a giant hand come out and crush the big bad, squeezing him, blood running between the giant fingers, then you all showered by that blood raining down on you instantly become demi-gods
I still remember when my character was trying to balance across a pit with a backpack full of alchemist fire. And fell in. And one of the vial’s exploded, which makes the rest of the vials explode. And just sees flames roar from the pit like in Austin powers
I remember my first ever time playing DnD, my brother's character, a human paladin, managed to convince two goblin guards that his Lizardfolk cousin Juan was in the cave they were guarding and that we needed to go in to find them with a nat 20. It was his first time playing and his first roll as well.
That's a phenomenal first memory and is 100% why people play TTRPGs.
I remember seeing your first video when it came out. It’s amazing of how much this channel has grown with the animation and campaign
Your editing is top notch
One of my friend back in the day of 3.5, 90% of the time when a party member was downed, he would run up with his barbarian shout ''You killed my friend!'' and then crit, all the time!
In case anyone didn’t want to do the math, if he rolled nat 1s on every single 8d8 12 times, he would still take 96 hit points 😅4:54 I assume he was absolutely annihilated
I had a player who I forgot if it was a nat 20 but it was definitely a high roll succeeded to convince the entire city guard that he is the god of bloodshed and managed to later become an unplayable character via ascending to a god.
Morale of the story I'm a chaotic DM with chaotic players
The campaign I'm in now is a Percy Jackson setting so we're at camp half-blood, and I was looking for someone from the Hephaestus cabin. I rolled a nat 20 on investigation so the DM told a funny, non-canonical, plotline where I found Hephaestus himself in the shower
Oh my god that's amazing
That sounds hilarious.
Please tell me it was a tricked out shower that has lava instead of water

That dragon story reminds me of my group and the time we drowned a dragon. I wonder how many other groups have managed that - I bet we're not alone...
Mt favorite nat one story is: I was playing starfinder with a few friends and we were fighting a Robot dragon. One of my players had taken the eye out of the dragon and thrown it to another player, who wanted to throw it at something else. He rolled a nat 1. He threw the eye with a perfect spiral, and it screwed it back in. It was great
So, the one story I tend to tell, my friend was playing a Drau Rogue and had this over powered wristlet crossbow. All he had to do to hit was roll a 3 on the dice most of the time.
Well, our party is storming a fortress of mages who basically kill all non-humans and non-mages, so naturally Siege Weapons are involved.
The rogue sees a catapult launch a bolder at him, so he readies and fires an explosive bolt, trying to be cool and shoot it out of the air.
Well, the catapult's crew all rolled nat 20s to prep, aim, and fire. My friend... a nat 1. So the bolt kinda just slides out and explodes at his feet. He then looks up as he is hit by a bolder that dealt not double, not triple, but 8x his hp in damage. All he would've needed to do is a dex save, but he wanted to be cool.
So, DM flavored it as he got hit so hard, he went straight to hell and landed in the satan's bathtub while he was taking a bath. The devil watched how he died, got such a laugh, he sent him back to do his death saving throws.
We decided to dial back the crazyness of nat 20 and 1. Because, while nat 20s at the right time are awesome, rolling a nat 1 and killing your comrade or shattering your magic axe is more depressing than 5 nat 20s can alleviate. Though our DM decided to instead reward creativity: if things are going bad but we can think of something creative that would make sense both in world and for our character to do, he will usually make sure that it happens, which can lead to some badass, climactic moments.
My friend had me sit in as a guest to play the BBEG at the end of his campaign and one of his players rolled a nat 20 to make me nauseous. Because I was the BBEG and had ludicrous resistance, the DM decides that I can roll to resist with a whole scale of how bad the nausea could possibly be. I rolled a 1. The BBEG started vomiting mid-monologue and the team just ganked him before he could get up to summon his allies.
Sounds accurate
That sounds like the most anti-climactic thing to happen ever.
Here is the BBEG: the thing you have been fighting against, running away from and now it is just emptying it's stomach because some nauseous-causing spell?
Bosses have epic resistances, because they need to feel hard to beat.
You still need to beat the resistance of the defender to be able to critically hit them. So if the resistance is 31 and you rolled 20 and had a total bonus of +10, it still doesn't do shit.
But hey, I must be too old-school for these high-endorfine run games.
I'll see myself to the door, I get it: you don't want reality to intervene in your fantasy-game.

My favorite nat 1(three pete in the same session)
Running a custom race, which was set up as a hunting tribe, tactician ranger from 1e pathfinder(we had 6 people so I couldn't do a pet as it would take too long)
Well we tracked some golem into a mine, me and the rogue took 2 paths in stealth while the party rested from the last encounter as we took no damage, I roll a 28 and 26 on survival and stealth and find the golems trail, go back to get the others, we get told to roll a perception, and i roll a 1... and disappear from everyone's sight and end up in a gargoyle den, got out with our (large) barbarian flying rage into it while I was starting to get flown off in its claws
Few hours later doing tracking again out doors in a forest, nat 1, and I disappear into the undergrowth, and land in front of 3 golems, I realize I'm alone with a decent perception so I try to stealth out of there(btw a +13 on stealth) and roll a nat 1 waking up the three golems with a twig snap that was heard half a mile away... the characters name was trailrunner, and ever since our group says we trailran when we get nat 1s or botches in WoD games
I think my favorite series of nat 20's I've ever witnessed was when the party (I was the DM) was fighting an ancient black dragon. The artificer shoots the giant stone throne with his portable ballista with a rope tied to it. The rogue, who had climbed to the top of the throne, jumps down and uses the rope to fly into the air, gets a nat 20 acrobatics and swan dives with a dagger straight into the dragon's eye getting _another_ nat 20. Then the warlock crits with eldritch blast for insult to injury.
Just had a fun DND story for today: so I’m playing this little level 2 wild magic sorcerer (her name’s Aurelia :)), and I go to cast the spell “ray of frost”, but it does the wild thing, as it do. And it turns into “magic missile” at 5th level, which makes me do 29 damage instead of the 1-8 I would’ve done with “ray of frost”. Awesome, right? Well this battle we weren’t supposed to get anywhere near winning (because, you know, plot stuff), and by the time the player before me and I had gone it was down half health. Our other three players managed to do like 5 health between them, but like, our DM was just “that wasn’t supposed to happen!”
Fun times :)
That last story is why Felix hid the final boss in a portal to another dimension in the next campaign.

3:33 My favorite Nat 20 started my Pathfinder group's in joke of "I read it in a book!"
There was me, a Rogue, our Paladin, a Winter Witch (basically, fireball is reflavoured as Snowball with ice instead of burn damage) and the Fighter. We were looking for a Hidden Temple to... one of the gods. I forget. But it was lost. _We_ were lost. Way lost. So we got to talking, in-character and out, about the surrounding terrain, and how everyone was annoyed no one had thought to put points into Knowledge: Geography.
"Hey," says my Rogue, interrupting the Witch and Paladin's argument. "We're in the County of Chaos, just a few leagues from the Sandpits of Sorrow, right? I read a book of funny stories to my sister about this place, once! I wonder if those dotty rhymes had any clues. If I remember correctly, then..." *Nat 20*
The GM then had to come up with some rhymes, limericks, and jokes (with my and the others' input, of course!) that would end up giving us some form of directions to our destination. He started out a bit annoyed, but then we were all laughing over dumb jokes, and we ended up not having *any* random encounters, because "you remembered the book's japes and glib remarks so thoroughly, that you've begun recognizing the hidden warnings in the world around you."
The previous session was when we entered the area, and our first encounter had been a Kraken. We were level 3. Being able to just *not* deal with random encounters was well worth not levelling up until the next session, and it only took three sessions for someone else to pull the "read it in a book once" for a Knowledge check to get around our group's lack of political intrigue.
Fun times!
As for my favorite Nat 1 story... Same Pathfinder campaign as the Nat 20 story, our very first session where we're actually doing a thing. And that thing was... travelling to a Temple. The Sun Queen's Temple. Which really shouldn't have been very difficult whatsoever, but a few of our encounters with bandits and the like meant we had to keep reorienting ourselves, and as the Rogue (not to mention I had wings and could fly), it was my job to get up to a vantage point and get our bearings.
I did so three times. I rolled Nat 1s three times. Our GM decided, on the third, that I saw the Temple-and that sunlight glinting off its golden bell tower blinds me, and leaves me unable to swear.
I couldn't curse, I couldn't even *not-curse.* No "Aw shucks!" or "This whomps!" for me, no sir! And I stuck with it all the way until the end of the campaign (nearly two years later IRL), when we got to meet the Sun Queen in person, and the DM granted my character the honor of being the newly Ascended Goddess of Knowledge's High Priest.
He had a Rogue with levels in Shadowdancer become a Priest. All because I stuck with a "curse" he'd completely forgotten he'd applied to me because of a few hilariously unlucky Perception checks. I still laugh about the absurdity!
I took a nap. Rolled, got 1, exploded. Classic.
In my campaign the evil necromancer fell down a building after trying to dramatically watch my players and barely survived only to fail to defend himself against a single wolf.
In my first campaign that I've played, our characters snuck onto a pirate ship, went downstairs, and saw most of the crewmates hammered. One of my friends suggested flashing them to distract them, I took that as a challenge and had my character flash them. It didn't work and it kinda became a running joke in our group to take their shirt off once in each campaign.
One of my favorites for a campaign I was running has nothing to do with the outcome but the sheer amount of crits. This comes from the fact my friend was a high level fighter with Two-weapon Fighting and ended up getting 4 Nat 1s and 2 Nat 20s in a single turn
3 nat 20? I like that.
In my campaigns I always allow a reroll if someone rolls a 7. If they get two 7, then they get to roll for a 3rd one. 7 7 7 = Nat 20+
But if they roll a 13, then their positive action comes with a slight bad luck if the opening is available. 😈😈😈
That’s so random and I love it
Gotta have some fun when rolling, you know?
Random out-of-context d&d stories are the best. We need more of these.
My favourite time is onetime me and my friends were doing this star-wars one shot for may the 4th, at the start we were in this cave and obtained our lightsabers. The dm was very good at making things interesting and different from the average campaign so he had us roll for our weapons stats during the campaign as we found or sabers. One of my friends his name is Caleb got really unlucky, he had a broken lightsaber that was radio active and very dangerous to everyone around it, but then after he we were done the dm looked over to Caleb and asks him to do one more roll… Nat 1 he looks Caleb dead in the eyes and just says, you have cancer.
And then just moved on with the campaign
I love that the Sandstorm had frigging SandBelts in it, but i can't help but feel it would've been a MASTERPIECE to have a still image of the lady running down the steps from Darude Sandstorm.
So, my very first session was interesting. First attack I ever made in my first combat went as follows:
I swing at a kobold, but I roll a nat 1. My dm decides to have fun with it. I proceed to roll another nat 1 immediately after then a nat 20. I missed, and ended up throwing my shield at a tree in the process, but I threw it so hard it broke the tree and crushed the assaulting kobolds and our paladin who managed to blind himself at the start thus ending the combat.
This perfectly sums up my luck, always failing spectacularly
Literally had my first d&d game today. It was so much fun. We did almost nothing by the end but it was chaotic and fun 😅
And of course, Erina's infamous nat 20 sleight of hand that turned into an immediate unanticipated bloodbath
That last one I wanna hear the full story of after Fools Gold.
I'm sure many others want to know the main build up to that amazing epically anticlimactic ending.
