You really should watch it. It's a great movie.

Plus, the CG will look much less real now, and hopefully rid you of the memory.

My DM always said just cuz you get a nat 20 doesn't mean you jump to the moon.

I love The Mummy with Fraser and Weiss. Iconic pair honestly. Both films are quotable.

Always upvote The Mummy. Always upvote DnD. Not a difficult choice on what to do here.

Nat 20's don't work on skill checks, folks. Stop pretending your nat 20 on an athletics check is the same as a nat 20 on your attack roll.

#3 That's not how skill checks work. Or disadvantage works.

TWO NAT 20s?!?!

Nat 20 doesn't mean automatic success. All veteran players and DMs know this. You can't get accidentally lucky into understanding egyptian
dannowhammo
I mean I guess you could have been very lucky and have seen that exact eqyptian phrase translated before? At a stretch.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
That one didn't make sense anyway because in the movie they implied he'd had a career in archaeology but had ruined it. Presumably by /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
stealing artifacts. He wasn't at good at hieroglyphics as Evie but had some basic knowledge. /2
cozynester
Ahh that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification =D
GadenKerensky
I mean, didn't Jonathan already have some knowledge? Evie makes several references to a 'dead career'.

99.999% of the time nat 20s don't rewrite reality at my table, but every now and again an edge case comes along that's too awesome to say no
AKADave89
I feel that most Nat20 memes are made by people who've never actually played D&D
Zixtank
If you roll with disadvantage and get a double 20, gods above and below will move slightly to the left for this little rearrangement.
textilelover
At my table you only get a roll if it's possible. If you need the impossible the cleric better roll really low on divine intervention.

My friend's DnD campaign had a bard that tried to be the "sex happy" meme. Solution: Monster herpes. Giant. Visible. Monster. Herpes.

I'm a bard and the only sexytime I go for is to avoid paying for a room at the inn. Good thing he has low standards.
GrandPubabofMoldistan
A friend failed a lock check and rolled to intimidate a locked door. Natural 20 door opened
docchloroplast
“Real” DND sounds pedantically boring. If I ever join a game I hope the DM has the same level of discretion as the ones on Adventure Zone.
ZebAsiz
DM secretly rolling a % to see if something works due to how awesome it is.
vindik8or
It's like saying that 5% of the time wishes come true. GTFO.
trennyjr
if a nat 20 won't work or a nat 1 wont fail the players should not be rolling in most cases. for the 1 you roll if it's a party check 1/2
trennyjr
for the nat 20 it could be argued to see just how fucked you are trying to seduce the dragon where a 20 means it find the attempt amusing 2/
selexor
A Nat 20 doesn't mean success. It means "The Best Possible Result Of Your Attempt." Which might mean you fail... but survive the attempt.
Crowlands
"The dragon laughs at the strange music man, and decides he will be eaten last."
AnythingMuchShorter
Yeah a natural 20 is like, you sling a stone and strike the giant right in the forehead at 30 meters. Very impressive, but isn't god powers.
AnythingMuchShorter
A guy doesn't like, punch through a 2 foot thick stone door sealed by a great powerful sorcerer with his bare fist because he rolled a 20.
BigFatFailureTurtle
Unless he's a high level monk with a few bonuses
AnythingMuchShorter
ok yeah, maybe then. But that isn't entirely because of rolling a 20.
Yoyorazer
WRONG!!! The nat 20 went back and changed the timeline so that PC would become a monk and choose or gain those exact bonuses
Renzworth
My favorite was a giant ambushed a bard, bard rolls to secude. Nat 20. DM: you successfully seduce the giant but he still kills you with sex
Yoyorazer
Roll for giant to be a bottom, roll for giant to have micropp, roll for giant to be into bdsm, roll for giant to be submissive, roll 4 bussy
Staddi
I mean, in 5e a Nat20 is only a crit when fighting. The steal key disadvantage roll would only be valid with TWO 20 rolls. And even then tbc
Staddi
If you have like -1 in Sleight of Hand you would have a 19. If the threshold would be 20 he would still fail.
SpacemanSpiff1000
Yea exactly if a wizard with a str of 10 tried to move a boulder 10 times his weight just cause he rolled a nat 20 doesn't change anything.
toast667
That's actually a reasonable time for a nat 20 to be a success tho. The human bdy(and maybe some fantasy races) are insane with adrenaline.
SaltCollector
No, stories of adrenaline fueled feats of strength are 1 in a million, not 1/20. Bring in a 20 str goliath and I'll let you roll.
kelots
Yup I use the arrow analogy. Shoot a bow at the moon and a natural 20 isn't going to allow you to hit it - but maybe you catch dinner.
AnythingMuchShorter
It could be like, ok, you shot a guy right in the eye at the very limit of a bows range. But it still have to be physically possible.
GadenKerensky
I mean... maybe he happened to cause just enough stress that it fractured and fell apart without falling on him?
godofhorizons
The human body is capable of insane feats of strength under extreme stress
Kbantar
No. You can't exert more than 100% of what the body can. Few people really risk injury, so they think 100% is lower than what it is.
godofhorizons
What the body can is far higher than most think it is. 10x your body weight is possible https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_MQ5t3tgLvU
Kavrae
Bad example then. But the idea stands - if it's physically impossible (not improbably, impossible), then a Nat20 doesn't change that.
BarbedWireCatheter
Hell yeah, ever electrocuted a corpse?

BUT if it was in the middle of an action sequence and it would dramatically crush the Goblins chasing the party below maybe /1

the Wizard's pushing is juuust enough to break the edge of the cliff and cause it to roll off and paint the Goblins across the cavern walls.

RAW nat 20 skill checks don't auto succeed
FallenJester
I hate that it upsets me when memes act like they do. Then that upsets me that I'm that kind of dork.
BigFatFailureTurtle
RAW, no skill check should be rolled unless success is possible. Why roll a dice if the result can't change anything?
shredder826
It opens up for more RP. The lich won’t nicely surrender if you roll 25 on CHA check, but he might admire your hubris and make you an offer

Not getting the result you want isn't a failure
jiynxed
Because players are obnoxiously dense.
Mickeysofine
Degrees of failure.
Mickeysofine
3.5e: Assuming you have no bonus to climb. The climb DC on the wall you found yourself on is 24. You roll a nat 20. You make no progress.
Mickeysofine
you rolled a 19 or less and you fall from wall.
UsernamesAreStupidAnyways
Because an attempt ending in failure makes for a more interesting story than just "No"
BigFatFailureTurtle
No, it makes a more frustrating story. The fun of rolling comes from the expectation that the results matter.
UsernamesAreStupidAnyways
For you, maybe. People are different.
RaisinZetaJones
Success is always possible. Just not with that character, that skill, or that circumstance. "I roll to kick the moon" -- no. "I roll to pick
RaisinZetaJones
the lock" -- yes, even if a roll of 20 + modifiers will have them fail.
Mossiestsloth
Because what may be a success for one may not be for another, there's no way a DM can keep track of everyone's modifiers with everythingelse
Mossiestsloth
Plus even in the memes they even show the layer rolling without being asked to roll
BigFatFailureTurtle
If you aren't asked to roll, your roll isn't part of the game. That was just you fidgeting and irrelevant.
