Just woke up on this weird tentacled skyship, trying to figure out what the heck is happening. Then fate sends me a message when I look at the bubbling vat of brine in the middle of the chamber...

Loool that reminds me of
willing the pod to open for shadowheart.
It's only a 2 check but my friend somehow rolled a 1 laugh Sometimes the RNG gods are just not in our favor.

Don't worry, I'm sure things will improve c: or at the very least, they will be amusing!

My favourite critical failure was with Avatar-Shadowheart. She has a DC of 0 to recognise the Nightfall Feast in the Grymforge and rolled a 1, resulting in Gale having to explain her religion to her.

You can make Laezel try to open it too. Despite her claim that there is no time, she will do it if you assume control and make her press the button. Still 1/400 chance of failure though.

Astarion, with gloves of thievery, (advantage, so 2 dice rolls) will still get critical failures trying to disarm a trap. Critical failures are a feature of the game.

@Ussnorway Did you serve under Captain Mallory?

@Ido58 Yes, critical failures are definitely feature of the game (and D&D.) But it bodes ill for the future when you very first skill check of the game is a natural 1.

I started my first game thinking "Yes, I will allow this mindflayer to connect to my mind. Perhaps I can... negotiate?"
