Finally a D&D post I can sort of understand.
Scionzenos
The big question is how many more bad rolls does it take for them to get married.
quillfreminenti
One of my players kept rolling 1's on search checks. I had it that he kept looking at the sun or shiny things to temporarily blind him.
notaballoon
It's starting to bug me that DnD is entering the public imagination only through really outlandish DM calls on critical failure rolls

I want an entire series of these. I love them.

I always just have the players get too excited and huck the weapon at them

"I roll to crap my pants" *1*

DM: "Roll a D4. *gets a three, points to third adventurer in group* You crapped HIS pants."
GodEmperor0fMankind
I got grabbed by a plant. Rolled a 1 on my escape attempt. Plant ate me.
AmericanHam
Rolled a one for strength to throw a lit lantern..dropped it and set the cart of goods we had on fire..there was oil inside..so much fire..
ArdentSlacker
I feel like that should be a risk, but maybe needs more than one bad roll to produce. 5% chance of self-immolation is too high for an 1+
ArdentSlacker
2/2 underhand lob. (Unless you are slippery. Okay, if you were already oily, yes.)

Thankyou! Saving for later

I'm confused. That's a d12 and both the 1 and the 12 were shown. WHY USE A D12 AND NOT MAKE THE ARROW #12

Wouldn't a 1 be you cutting yourself attempting to attack the enemy?
TheCommissar
The majority of the time, a natural 1 on an attack roll is just a failure and nothing else happens, unless you're using a gun.
lordfluffy
Depends on the edition and how sadistic your DM is.
BiscuitJesus
Depends on the DM/tone of the game I guess
ElTacolad
There's no actual critical fail rules. It's like the rule where you get money if you land on free parking in Monopoly. Doesn't really exist.
jw259
Well, the "actual" rule is that it's a miss regardless of bonus/ target AC. Just nothing beyond that. (And on Death Save counts as 2 fails.)
jw259
(These rules are for 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons, might do slightly different things in other editions.)
ElTacolad
Mmhmm. But my point was that nothing special happens when you roll a 1 on an attack roll. It's not a "critical" fail, it's just a fail.
Barronvonburp
Probably that or the sword breaking or something, handing it to the enemy is too far from the intent of the players actions, however (1/3)
Barronvonburp
throwing the weapon at the enemy and having them pick it up would be the same thing pretty much, except it would cost actions for the(2/3)
Barronvonburp
enemy, and would make sense.(3/3)
super3dcow
These kinds of rules make for a goofy game sometimes, but makes the game's world way less realistic.
Flyndaran
Some people want farce, others internally consistent. But I do hate how so many promote this silliness as if it were default or necessary.
ArdentSlacker
Worst was a bad GM with the d6 star wars system. The "wild die" coming up wrong... it was a 1/6 chance of comedy with all actions. You 1+
ArdentSlacker
2/2 could roll a few times what you needed and that one die made it a total failure.
iarmit
tbh, people mis-/over-use the Nat 1/20 rule
ArdentSlacker
Yeah. critical hits are already a thing. And failure already sucks. An interesting compromise can be making another, related effect that 1+
ArdentSlacker
2+ round have (dis)advantage. So that there's a *chance* that failure will trip up a comrade, or make you exposed and easier to hit. Like
ArdentSlacker
3+ those D&D versions with "roll to confirm critical". Gives you a plausible failure state at less than 5% chance to occur, but 5% of rolls
ArdentSlacker
4/4 get that ass-clenching "ohshit" some people like. :D

GoliathSkittles
< get uppercutted so hard their head launches off their body and causes an avalanche on the nearby mountain.
Brobuscus115
We use this rule. My only rule is that if it happens, you must describe it SUPER well otherwise its just a high damage crit.
madmanmoe64
I always think DM's that do this are odd. If every action you took had a 5% chance of catastrophic failure it'd be constant slapstick, 1/2
Sheepyhead
Someone I know posited the kung fu kraken test. Basically if a level 15 kung fu kraken and a level 1 commoner both go at a training 1/?
Sheepyhead
Dummy indefinitely and the kraken is incapacitated before the commoner, it's not a good crit fail system
madmanmoe64
unless that's the vibe you're going for which is fine. 2/2
Thekingofbeans
Well there's a failure table you roll on a 1 to tell if it's just a not great result or a horrific failure
Syaoron
for me nat 1 means failure but I roll percentage dice. if it comes up 1-15% it is a critical failure like losing grip of sword etc
Whydoeseveryonebelieveme
That's still ridiculously frequent. You drop your sword every 120-ish swings?
Syaoron
but it's just losing grip, nothing like giving your sword away. I mean you're battling, covered in slippery blood and organs.
janerowdy
Rolled a 1 trying to pick a lock last night, that door will never open again
LordNoodles
Sounds like what my drunk tenants did
GuyThatRealizesFemalesAreConfusing
Are you kidding, psssh played last night, woke up in a cell with a dragon born barb, I say hi, roll perception, see the cell has lock. (1/2)
GuyThatRealizesFemalesAreConfusing
Rolled to lock pick the door, roll 1 +6 mod, lock picking fails, but door opens on its own because door was unlocked....(2/2)
soulman901
You roll a 1 turning the knob. The knob instead reaches out a grabs your tit giving it a turn. You open up and the door goes through you.

Fucking mimics!!!!1
DorthLous
That's a far more realistic handling of a 1 than most of those story. Less funny, however.
iarmit
Aye, except that's not how skill checks work (typically). There is no auto-fail, but you can do harm
DorthLous
Depends of the system. D&D2+ and Pathfinder, no, but it was in original D&D, if I'm not wrong, and other systems ^^
DorthLous
(Exemple, Planet Mercenary [3d6+skill] has no auto-success [but augmented success if 3X6 on success] but has critical fail [3X1])
iarmit
OD&D and AD&D used d6 or d% for checks and you saved off a chart. Fumbles and crits were only ever to simulate luck in combat
DorthLous
No, even OD&D and AD&D used d20 + skill vs objective. There were 2 variants with semi critical failures, mind you. 1 => -10 to roll and
