DM Slider.

Post by kalvas »

Is it me or is the slider up all the way?
It appears that I roll as many 1's as the monsters roll 20's. (quite a bit).
It's the only way they can hit me in most cases but for some reason they do it far more then what would seem reasonable.

You're not the only one that notices this.

Anyone know of a tool that would be able to automatically keep track of who makes what die rolls and could put that in a graph to see the stats on what numbers are rolled more than others?

The half-celestial warriors of neversummer seem to get crits like mad. Not sure why. Maybe they have improved crit greatsword plus weaponmaster ranks in it, but the greatswords they drop(which i assume are the same ones they use) aren't keen either, so it's odd.

Probabyl shouldn't set it any higher... NPC's doing double damage would be crazy...

Too bad xp doesn't go up as well like in IWD. Playing that in hell(or frost something or other) was very hard but enjoyable.

sometimes the dice just don't like us..

that's about all there is to it.. dice rolls are random.. and sometimes they just don't go our way..

but we usually don't even notice it when the enemies are rolling the contant 1's ;)

You should see the crit fests that sometimes happen in my PnP group. One night one of our guys went through two characters because the DM's 20 sider kept hitting the 20s.

Statistically, you're supposed to roll as many 1's as the monsters roll 20's....

false since there is a whacky script running that sometimes let you reroll 1's :P

no, as far as i am aware the script doesn't let you reroll ones, it just makes sure that ones are no longer autofails.

Hasn't seemed to work. Ci Hack failed two death spells because he rolled 1's, where otherwise his base save would've been enough to live.

Die rolls can be strange - last night I killed 4 bandits in 1 round - 4 crits with near max damage, 3 of them on cleaves (I have great cleave) :D

Yeah, somehow gotten a lot of 80's crits on my longbow(1d8 +1d10 +2d6 *3 + 2d6) and then a bunch of 60's on the low end. But getting a 94 once(2 away from max) was nice :D

Still, i somehow got a crit like in the 70's on a drow guard, before bane of enemies, and i'm not a weaponmaster of anything, and it's only enchanted mithril, so i'm curious how that happened.
