Last weekend I was in a tuff spot somewhere and managed to get 3 20's in a row!! That really helped me out. Never had that before.

getting 2 20s in a row is a 1 in 400 chance....it happens a few times a week.
getting 3 20's in a row is a 1 in 8000 chance!

And that is the odds of rolling a 2nd or 3rd 20...if you factor the extra chance of getting the first 20 to begin with it is 1 in 160,000 combat rolls on average to get 3 20's or anything for that matter in a row!!

wow!

To make it all the more comical...I just had 3 1's come in a row!!!!! How far out is that! Luckily it was against some minor beetle while exploring the realms at random!!

too funny....and all in the same week!

It's those sequence of rolls I keep an eye out for when I'm in the multi-player battles - If I notice a sequence of high rolls, I'll throw in all my quickstone 20's, a blast from the dreaded finger and a swipe with the wand of dragonfire... the hope being that I'll have the satisfaction of seeing the highest recorded damage total against any of the four multi-player opponents, which, at last check, I hold the title for :cool:
