Confirm Crit



[ryaltube]

It's a skeleton dragon, poison weapons do nothing.

[TheJohnathan117]

What level are these guys?

[Spriggs877]

one time I believe I did ray of frost and a magic missile on a guy no crit but in total after he took all his damage by me including ongoing he took 34 hp and I was only level 2

[reaver2033]

i`d like to see him do that in 3.5

[mtbrain1]

except when you're a cleric, you want to roll a 19 so you end up with like 26 from your +7 charisma bonus

[markanthonyquested]

I have been reading some of the comments with interest.

Personally speaking, whereas I respect D&D for being the daddy of all RPGs, I personally find it a bit too combat heavy, and a bit samey, regardless of edition! I prefer games that are more theatrical, less combat heavy.

Considering that there are numerous editions of D&D, as well as Pathfinder, it matters not want edition you play, but whether you enjoy playing it! Rules are rules, roleplay is in the hands of the GM and players.

[zninja141]

This nigga knows he still has to roll for each consecutive hit right?

[Captpub3beard]

@zninja141 That "nigga"? your stupidity does not surprise me.

[zninja141]

@Captpub3beard i said that as a joke, and its in the game rules that you have to roll for each consecutive hit, i just overlooked the fact that a nat20 on the first hot would be a 1 hit kill

[Captpub3beard]

@zninja141 I know about consecutive hits, I was talking about you using the word "nigga"

[zninja141]

@Captpub3beard i said it because in my head i pictured of a black guy dressed like a douche thinking he's all "gangsta" explaining that to him. You know, someone who looks like he wouldn't know a thing about DnD. I meant it to be ironic. Also dont go into the whole "racism" argument, unless if there is some sort of racist connotation that is used with it the word in itself is not racist

[zninja141]

@Captpub3beard and by that i mean that the nat20 would deal only 72 damage and not the 151 what he was setting all of that up for, plus i didn't know what level they were playing at not did i know how much hp the target had left

[Maxillius]

Does it only go off if it lands on 20 after a roll, or will it light if it's gently turned to 20 as in if you really rolled a 12 and want to cheat?

...not that I would do such a thing

[BQuillaDood]

sweet

[Neongamer1]

Consider it bought...That'll show my DM who not to mess with when I maniacly laugh with my 20! That'll teach him to send out his army of displacer beasts, beholders, skeletons, and one ewok after me!

[zoliathan]

7d10+9 is chump change.

[MegaFailfox]

Whoah

[ScutigeraColeoptrata]

FIGHT THE POWER!

[swingtastic]

Did he just makes one attack roll for 2 attacks? Is there some weird feat that lets you roll just once if you use an action point? Or have these guys never played D&D? Was it really THAT hard to find actual D&D players?

[SPARTANN09]

@swingtastic Or, you know, they just wanted to keep the video short and sweet as advertising for the die instead of filming the whole session. :)

[Viskowskii]

@swingtastic He rolled once because he only needed one shot to kill it. There was no second attack. It happens sometimes when you announce your full turn before doing anything and then hit harder than you expected.

[ChristophaerSilcox]

Wait...poison doesn't affect skeletons

[squadexodus]

Now confirm the crit.

[warrenbutt]

@squadexodus Nope, 4th edition. Hence the action point.

[SpaceTime4D]

You mean at ThinkGeek HQ, you get to plot world domination AND play D&D? Where are the applications?

[acolytetojippity]

...wait...you needd to roll again to confirm the crit. 20 won't automaticllly make it a crit, just a hit. you need to roll again and overcome the target's AC to crit.

[Misery1988]

@acolytetojippity actually I'm fairly sure that isn't true. If you have enough attack to hit, the attack will crit. If you still dont have enough attack on the 20, the attack will be a regular hit, instead of a crit.

(lvl 30 changeling assassin that steals, scams and kills people).

[acolytetojippity]

@Misery1988 no. you roll for the attack. if that roll is within your weap's crit range, then you roll again to confirm the crit. if you beat AC on that roll, then you crit. if you don't, then it's a regular hit.

[cthulhu189]

@acolytetojippity this is what the forth edition players hand book says about rolling a crit. "Natural 20: If you roll a 20 on the die when making an attack roll, you score a critical hit if your total attack roll is high enough to hit your target’s defense. If your attack roll is too low to score a critical hit, you still hit automatically." so there is no second roll, but just because they rolled a 20 doesnt necessarily mean its a crit.

[acolytetojippity]

@cthulhu189 ah! well there's your problem. you're playing 4th. 3.5 is the real edition.

[cthulhu189]

@acolytetojippity ah, well now your assuming im playing 4th. i never said i was, however based off the video, they are. and to be honest no one version is better than the another. all the small minded individuals who have bitched about things changing are clearly not open minded and are stuck and stubborn in their ways (not saying you are, i clearly dont know you). thats not exactly a thing to be proud of. its all based on the DM and the players to make the game fun and worthwhile.

[acolytetojippity]

@cthulhu189 nono. 4th sucks. they killed so much of the gameplay, dumbing it down and such.

[cthulhu189]

@acolytetojippity i agree that they simplified it, but that doesnt kill the game play. the game play is based on the DM and the players and the simplification speeds up some of the playing, giving more time for each gaming session. i would suggest to at least try it (if you havent already) with a open mind, and then make a decision of what you think of 4th. but i cant stress enough how its not the version that makes a good game or a bad one, but its the DM and players. thats my opinion anyway

[acolytetojippity]

@cthulhu189 i honestly have. we were quite excited to try it hen it came out, and an hour into it we burned our char. sheets and started a 3.5 one instead.

[MagusX1]

@acolytetojippity It shows your lack of experience with the game. Your opinion means nothing you joke of a human. Your nothing but a close minded fool, part of the problem with humanity. I speak the truth.

[Draknfyre]

@acolytetojippity

You know what I find funny about people saying it is dumbed-down? 4E is closer to the original D&D than 3.5 was.

[MagusX1]

@acolytetojippity Nice comeback, you add no context to your arguments moron.

[HamMan6789]

I totes bought one, it just arrived today. I can honestly say from firsthand experience that it is, in fact, a fair die. Much to my immediate annoyance.

[GoblinsnHobbits]

Barbarians fucking rule.

[MrPlow45]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT? I'm not a dungon and dragons lover, but I respect you guys. Your nerds like me.

[icanhasfilms]

i prefer pathfinder but its still kickass

[EllPro]

@GrugTheJust Aw smeg no! Spent too much damn money on 3.5 to switch.

[Aneikouro]

one word. Vorpal

[MrPikminmaster]

they should yell, "FATALITY!"

[EllPro]

Um... you can't crit undead.

[GrugTheJust]

@EllPro I take it you don't play 4th edition.

[ein987]

@EllPro xD I was thinking the same thing!

[Katanawa55]

if you all want to to back to 3.5 then try pathfinder..albeit its technically 3.75 but its practically the same...although i was at a disadvantage because i never really gotr to play 3.5 but i tried pathfinder and it takes a bit of time to transition from 4th to 3rd if ur not used to playing the older edition. but with pathfinder u can even roll some new classes like alchemists and such

[Darkmage1293]

I think I'd also like the dice to speak and at that point, say "DECAPITATIIOOOOOOOOON" like Jack Black.

[SomeGuyFromCrowd]

Oi, I thought you had to reroll to confirm a critical!

...Or is this 4.0 at work again?

[Aceroset4]

man you guys have a SWEET job. and i dont even understand dungeons and dragons :D

[Claizen]

7d10 + 9? Sweet jesus thats powerful

[OrcishSlacker]

@Claizen Yeah, if memory serves that's a level 29 daily power.

[shagoosty]

@Claizen Welcome to epic tier. 

[Draknfyre]

Are the batteries actually replaceable?

[tragicflaw310]

@Draknfyre Oh, very good point, I'd enjoy having this question answered before I go an purchase one...

[Kyairthwen]

Gods I hate 4th edition...ugh...3.5 ftw

[OrcishSlacker]

@Kyairthwen Yes, because your opinion on different editions of D&D is totally relevant to this video.

[DoubleDizzle1]

The look on his face... Epic!

[gattobanco]

... ew you guys are playing 4.0?

[Zakna]

hah i thought undeads were immune to crits.. but wutever 4e is the suck

[RandomProduct]

Liking the Micro Sonic Grenade on the table.

[blowenfuse]

So it just flashes on crit D20? Pretty sick. How heavy is it?

[smountcastle]

Who are the actors in this video? I swear I've seen them around here (Northern VA)

[needparalegal]

Undead dragons are immune to critical hits.

[Sithobi1]

@needparalegal Not in 4e.

[FlipJick]

Oh shiiiiiit, Ravenloft Dracolich!

[thinkgeek]

@FlipJick It was the only dragon figure I had :-)

[FlipJick]

@thinkgeek You act like it's a bad thing! What I'm saying is Ravenloft is awesome, even if the figures are un-painted! Also, only one dragon? It's Dungeons and Dragons, not Dungeon and Dragon.

[TwigsInc]

Awww I wanted to hear the DM describe the insane slaughter of this dragon. Epic anyway.

[DeathNomad]

So, how many times did you guys roll the dice to film a critical roll?

[Yeti22]

@DeathNomad That was my first thought before I even clicked on the video.

[Naba008]

@DeathNomad I thought it has been weighed to always show a 20.

[TheRuler454]

@DeathNomad they only had to retake the actual roll itself, hence the cut screen.

ahh the wonders of editing

[Citan1981]

@DeathNomad 10.5 is the expected value.

[uziman477]

@DeathNomad

Everyone at ThinkGeek rolls Nat 20's

[Xastrax]

where to buy in germany ??? 20$ shipping is to much for one dice

[AndrewDBarker]

I just bought one and the "The Dice Are Trying To Kill Me" t-shirt. Can't wait until they arrive.

[dborders8246]

You think geek guys should play Pathfinder RPG, way better than 4th Ed.

[Biopunked]

@dborders8246

or even better Fantasy Craft

[FelineIce]

Wait didnt he attack twice?

[jackhenrybehncke]

@FelineIce He used an Action Point, you get another Standard Action.

[thinkgeek]

@FelineIce He burned an action point!

[TwilightDuality]

@thinkgeek He still should have rolled twice. It's two separate attack rolls.

[willquestion]

@FelineIce You're right, he attacked twice. No clue why they didn't just keep it with the first attack and consider that the crit.

[Shockgrubz]

@FelineIce he spent the action point before rolling, since he rolled a 20, the creature was done for and didn't need the second roll.

[Kijekatana]

AWESOME. I'M GETTING ONE NOW.

[Zoronii]

If only it was a loaded d20 :P

[ebonknight]

LOL FTW!!! I want one!!!

[heroclix0rz]

hahaha! I love how no one cheered or anything.

[PeterAnimator]

@heroclix0rz But the grin...the GRIN!!!

[lawman33473]

Classic dudes! Who said being a geek wasn't chic!!! Rock on! Too bad you guys aren't in South Florida, or you'd have a fifth!

[mahnameisjaime1]

.... wat?.... is it weighed down?

[thinkgeek]

@mahnameisjaime1 Nope. We worked hard to balance it despite it having batteries, circuits and LEDs inside.

[mahnameisjaime1]

@thinkgeek oh i see ok

[Iamcartmanxd]

What just happened?

[Silenfoot]

@Garenas20295 You're both right. Under 3.5 Edition rules, you have to roll to confirm and multiply the total number of damage dice on a crit. Under 4E, however, natural 20 auto-confirms if your total roll would have hit normally and automatically maxes your damage, plus bonus rolls in certain situations.

[theNewCodingFrontier]

@Silenfoot DAMN YOU 4th Edition D:

[R1PD1O]

i want to play dnd while listing to dio.

[swade98]

That was actually awesome!

[Chaytup]

lol wat

[The0Burger0King]

I WANT THIS!!!

[thegreatcerebral]

If he had stuff that was 7D10+9 why did he only roll a D20? I've never played before but I thought that 7D10 means 7 10 sided dice added up +9 no?

[takuto8]

@thegreatcerebral the rules are: Before you roll the dice for damage, you roll a d20 to see if you hit or missed. This depends on the enemys defenses in either armor class, reflex, will or fortitude. However, when you roll a 20 it is counted as a critical hit, meaning your attack automaticly deals maximum damage.

[Garenas20295]

@takuto8 not maximum damage, but a critical hit, which can range from double to quadruple damage depending on the attack, or simply an automatic hit regardless of the armor class if the monster is immune to criticals.

[thegreatcerebral]

@takuto8 Thanks man. That really explained it for me. It all makes sense now.

[Thrawn83]

Now I know I desrve to shop here. I actually understood what he said and what he was talking about. :)

[ManEatingLunchBox]

@lawndogmoon lol
