    My paladin almost always rolled a 1, 2, or 3 for perception for his first five sessions so we joked that his helmet obstructs his vision and he needs glasses. The one time he gets a nat 20 he is looking into a fire, he worships a fire god. Makes sense.

    • @Sandman382
      @Sandman382 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I had a year of gaming where my highest combat roll was 4. Thankfully I eventually had enough bonuses that rolling a 4 to stab someone started working. Turns out your ability to get plusses to attack is higher then the ability to increase AC in Pathfinder. Meanwhile my skill rolls were commonly the highest in the party, which sounds like a good trade off until you realize I was ALSO the only person focused on skills in the party and probably would succeed by rolling 10 much less lower sometimes....Vidar's life was pain.

      Four Nat ones... Fighting Kobolds.
      The only consolation was rolling badly on the damage... Which was ruled as my character stabbing himself over and over while in combat.
      Fortunately I rolled well on intimidation. When a ranger who is obviously insane starts screaming "Our blood is sacrifice!" it tends to put the attacker off.

And im just like...absolutely pained....no. There was another session where my paladin (MY PALADIN WHO GOT A BONUS TO SAVING THROWS), failed every single saving throw in a fight. He was paralyzed, frightened, blinded, knocked out, and woken up by his friend's stray eldritch blast.

    This is basically me on my rogue. If its not a stealth check, I'm not passing it. Period. She's so damn stealthy that if you blink she's gone despite the fact she hasn't moved anywhere, but anything else that requires any sort of check she fails on, even if said skill check she has expertise in.

    I feel you. As a DM this happened to me a couple of sessions already, making it quite easy for my players to play the encounters even when they were quiet hard.

    I once rolled a 1 on a perception check… then I fell through the floor and got eaten alive by slime monsters, the bard came but decided he didn’t want any part of it and attempted to leave. He also rolled a one ._ .
    Then the Mage came in and saved both of us! She is stronk with magic

    Had a session just yesterday where I rolled no higher than a 6 on every ability check and save for the whole sessions. Every monster made every saving throw against my spells and I rolled no higher than a 15 on every attack roll.
    Today I sacrificed my youngest child to the dice gods to make amends for whatever slight I may have committed.

  • @Hk-ox4bb
    @Hk-ox4bb ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My players in my campaign are rolling so low that every fight it’s a massacre and I had to nerf them
    Every time it’s like “man, that monster was brutal”
    “It has an AC of 13, out of 6 people only 2 managed to go above a 10 in their rolls, how is that my fault?”

    As someone who had a halfling inquisitive rogue (he was a detective apprentice), whose investigation and insight were awful, 2 and 4 mainly (I even got in one round three 1 in a row), this one is too relatable.

    I have something similar to this, but instead of low rolls, they like to cause wild magic and perils of the warp whenever they can. My 40k Dark Heresy games tend to get really weird.

    Reminds me of the time I rolled 6 nat ones in a row during one of my campaigns. What was supposed to be a simple lock pick check ended up bringing down the entire building and killing almost everyone inside with the only thing still standing being the door.

    My players got into a combat scenario where a beloved NPC was hanging off a cliff. Character rolled a nat 1 to try to save him, missing him. The NPC slips further. Second player tries. Another nat 1. We lost the NPC that night.

    At character creation I roll 16 or above. Get into game start rolling 5 or below. Get to death saves or saves or save vs TPK nat 20. It is part of the reason. I Min/Max/Power Game. The bonus and extra abilities help offset the bad rolls.

    so for the "make a persuasion check convince him to help you"
    I actually kinda run npcs based on how they would act, for example if someone is already willing to help you, you don't gotta make a chance
    n
    but this also works in the reverse where if someone actively hates you and is trying to kill you, not even a nat 20 can save you

  • @sunnywhite196

    The first D&D 1st edition game I played, I was a ranger with a longsword (I think). The very first encounter, I managed to roll a critical fail on attack. Then rolled a perfect 100. Cue the party taking my headless corpse back to the starting town. Did that twice more before the session ended, earning myself the dubious moniker of "Crit-Fail Queen/Queen Crit-Fail" for a very long time after.
