10 over also crits.
You just gotta pick easy DCs. That's why I exclusively fight pre-schoolers.

don't forget to tell the cops that you drop-kicked those children in self defense!
17? Lots of days I can only wish i got a 17
I’d rather roll a 17 than a 19 haha
There's actually something to this. Olympians that were surveyed reported more satisfaction with a bronze than a silver.
That makes a lot of sense, thinking about it. With a bronze, you can say, "well, I had a really rough day, but even still I managed to eke out a bronze." But with silver, you're tempted to say "...but could I have done 0.2s better and got the gold?"
Depending on the sport sometimes a bronze is a win and a silver is a loss. With some sports, if it’s a one on one thing, there’s a game that’s basically “if you win it’s a bronze, if you lose it’s fourth place” and then the next game (with different team obviously) is “if you win it’s a gold, if you lose it’s a silver”. So if you get a bronze, you won, if you get a silver, you lose.
Great point, although there's also the third option where silver goes to the winner of the losers' bracket (so, they only lost one game, and it wasn't the last one). I'm pretty sure they don't do that in the Olympics, though.
The last olympics I followed was 2010 so things may have changed without my knowledge too.
That's very true as well, I think all team sports are like this.
Silver is first loser
Their AC was 18 so my best wasn't good enough to make a dent today.
That's only because you forgot to add your proficiency modifier. Don't forget to take your own skills and circumstances into account! You have more to contribute than you think!
OMG I forgot I was blessed.
I rolled a 6
needs an 18 to pass
I rolled a 4
Love you too <3
Note the 17.
Say it again after rolling a 3.
I hate this; back in 3e/3.5e a keen scimitar could crit on a 17 because a scimitar's crit range was 18-20 (keen widens crit range)
I hate 5e for simplifying everything so much
Try Pathfinder! You crit whenever you exceed the target by 10 or more, and different weapons have different crit effects. For example, a Longbow is Deadly d10 so in addition to doing double base damage you also add in a d10. Your scimitar is Forceful and Sweep, which doesn't do anything extra on a crit, but does add extra damage and a bonus to hit with multiple attacks. Perfect for a whirling dervish type character.
For some games, you want to roll low. So a 17 would be a failure.
I just passed a LARP group in a park near my place. Three had to be forty people gathered in a picnic area comparing their costumes
Amen brother
This is what I tell myself when I buy lottery tickets. I legit imagine the D20 and everything. Keeps me going.
Except you should be imagining a D900,000,000
That's how they get you. Fukken scammers.
Where's the meme?
maybe the real meme was the memes we memed along the way.
