well what else do you expect to happen when you fuck it up that hard you goober? Learn to roll other numbers.

How about a critical failure chart instead of just 'oh I shit my pants'.
Benjamin Barnes
you can't crit fail skill checks. If you're getting told you shit yourself because you rolled a nat 1 but you've got a +7 modifier or something, you should tell your DM to never run a campaign again

Fuck off, frogposter.

You can't critfail, period
It's not actually a thing in the rules
A natural 1 is an automatic fail on attack rolls and saving throws, but a natural 1 immediately resulting in your bow exploding or whatever is nonsense that people houserule into the system
For good reason, too. If you put in critfails, a level 16 fighter is 4x as likely to impale himself with his sword and die every round as a level 1 fighter. 7x if they're a dual weild build.

It's also the reason why you, by RAW, can't auto-succeed skillchecks on nat20. Because in addition to the dumb shit that happens on nat1s like this, it avoids dumb problems like PCs taking 20 on everything they're able to and succeeding at shit like jumping to the moon.

What the fuck what kind of shit you people DM that's not how taking 20 works

I usually fix this by making it so rolling a nat 20 gives you the 20+skill+10 and a nat one is 1+skill-10 so as long as your skill ranks don't make you go negative you just fail the check, but if you end up going negative it has varying degree's of bad. Nothing quite as shitty as crapping your pants, but falling flat on your face or tripping before you can make the jump and twisting your ankle. are all applicable

This is getting to /mlp/ levels of bad. I see these fuckers poping up on practically every board like muh /k/, including ones where they're publically banned only to reset their IPs and proceed to repost their thread. We need to banish Boys Club to a containment board.

If you roll a 1 to hit with a weapon of shitty quality then it can break.
Liam Cox
Unless the skill check is bowel control this isn't something that would happen.

Bentley Kelly
I've never had that happen to me personally. A friend of mine told me a story about that. It's the reason why you stick with the rules instead of doing dumb shit like this. Most of my friends at least try to understand rules before invoking them, but honestly, there are people who still won't get it.
>Take 20
>Make 20 attempts incrementally until you get it right or you can't succeed on a nat20
How hard is this to understand?
Adrian Evans
Not sure if this makes sense, but I only have crit fails in combat if you get a 1 with disadvantage. Even then, it could be something like you get countered and the enemy has advantage/opportunity attack or something like that, if it makes sense. A ranged attack might hit the wrong target, or hit a wall destabilize something/knock something over
It makes sense to me for fuck up to happen when you have disadvantage, say for example you are attacking while prone, or can't see the enemy
Also this sort of thing can only happen once per turn, and I might lessen the effects on higher level characters so they don't get fucked for having more attacks. It's a very loose system but my players seem to enjoy it, as it works in their favour as well. Thoughts?

>2d6+3
>5-15
What the fuck does he mean by this?
It does have a different, very interesting, distribution, but I fail to see how it works in this instance. If you want something with a broader range of numbers and an actual fucking bell curve, you want 3d6.

While it's true that most DMs fail to understand the rules for ability checks, and many DMs add houserukes critical tables that make 10 percent of all rolls into a complete shitshow, I'd like to talk about another part of OP's all-too-familar situation:
What is it with DMs and poop? I am currently stuck in a campaign with a DM who doesn't seem to know how to describe anything dramatic except in terms of feces. You shit yourself on a natural 1, the enemy shits himself if you roll a natural 20 on an attack or intimidation check, we even had an NPC shit himself in excitement. I honestly don't think it's a sex thing for him, just a lazy imagination that can't imagine any other kind of strong reaction to a stimulus.

Is he by chance age 12 - 18 and grew up watching Youtube videos?
Because that's exactly my impression of kids these days.
