"There’s this emperor, and he asks the shepherd’s boy how many seconds in eternity.
And the shepherd’s boy says, ‘There’s this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it and an hour to go around it, and every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed.’
You may think that’s a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird."
Yeah, you might need a hard success for this, probably too difficult for your party…
nat 20.
Fuck.
Play Pathfinder instead. Nat 20 means nothing.
I do, but I don’t run pathfinder as we have another DM that does it. Honestly I love combat in this game.
I was mostly referring to any game where you set them to impossible odds (e.g. Cthulhu) and they just roll their highest critical.
So basically I either rob them or let them do some John Woo cinematic shit with doves and all.
You can never have enough doves
There’s no critical success for ability tests in DnD either.
