So apparently we've been doing critical hits wrong in D&D.

A roll of 20 on a d20 is always a hit, and a "threat" aka Critical Hit. We knew this.

Apparently extending the "threat" range from 20 (so like.. 18-20 on a Scimitar) does not make a roll of 18-20 an automatic hit.
You still need to roll higher than the target's Armor Class, which changes how we were doing it drastically, lol.

Oh, and when it says Critical x3 or whatever, we would just multiply our rolls by that number. Turns out you have to roll your damage dice more, instead of just multiplying your initial results.

It makes more sense to do it that way, and allows for more consistent damage, but still..

So, is camp spot site with d20, but is it for 20 like d20 when you no hit be it for dd, for d20 dmg instead? or half is 10 for 20 dmg?

Yea... in 4.0 any weapon you have should have a "Critical: xdy" attribute on it to tell you how many extra dice you roll on a crit. Standard is y=6 and x=enh bonus of the weapon. Also, a crit is not only an automatic hit but you do max damage as well (as if you rolled the highest on your damage roll(s).

One time, I fought an undead treant, and I failed the saving throw against this "drain life" attack, and I lost two levels. But later, we ran into an old man who gave us a scroll of Wish as a reward for saving his town, and the DM let me wish the two levels back.

IF IT WAS A REAL WISH THAT GRANTED ME REAL STUFF YOU DAMN RIGHT I'D HAVE WISHED FOR LOLIS.

4.0 is pretty much better in every way.

Vataro wasn't there to see it, but in my last D&D session I did a full parody of Dio Brando's combo.

Yea, not sure how you pulled that off, but I'd be very interested to see.

Yea, well **** you guys.

You know, since you don't have girlfriends who occasionally demand your attention.
