I just rolled a natural 20 (IRL)

[Vagnarok]

Wow. So I was making some peas in my microwave just now. This is usually a pretty mundane activity, so I often try to spice it up:

Normally when the timer is about to go off I watch very carefully and then hit the button to open the door as soon as the timer hits 0. I do this so the beep sounds for as little as possible. Many times I'm too early and the beep is long anyway :*(

Still other times I try to spear hand the button for practice (though not as hard as the guy in that video). The button's kind of small, so it's more difficult than it sounds. This time however, I tried both at once just for fun. Not only did I nail the button just after the timer had hit zero, I hit it so close to zero that the speaker didn't have enough time to begin vibrating after the timer ended. I know I wasn't early because if I was the timer would still have been on 1. :D

Congratulations *hands a headband* you may now join the ranks of the ninja

Nice. I usually try to hit in at the perfect time, so the timer yields 0:00, which it's never supposed to do. It's electronic so it goes from 1 to END immediately. I do it every 40th attempt, or so.

Take the pebble, padawan.

Once grabbed a shuttlecock out of mid air without even looking.

It was kind of awesome.

(Needless to say, I have not been able to repeat the event.)

This is how my emotions went reading the OP:





Congratulations on your feat.

Rock on natural 20!

Once in high school was were stuck inside because it was raining and I opted to meditate rather than do basketball (long story about how i could get away with that) and i was sitting their and this blur kinda came at me from the side. Without turning my head (turning my head doesnt seem to happen as automaticly while im meditating) i backhanded a stray basketball and deflected it just in front of my face.
I didnt even really know what had happened till someone came over and asked if it had hit me (he just saw it rebound suddenly right by my head).

...Waste of a natural 20, Vagnarok.

Tomorrow, you're going to be attacked by a demon, and you'll have no weapons save your fists. You will time your attack wrong and miss by a mile.

See, I have the Su ability: Waste Natural Twenties on Useless Skill Checks. Something completely useless might happen, like someone tosses me a soda from out of my field of vision and I'll catch it. When I myself go to pick up a soda, however, I'll drop it and knock over twelve more.

I had the same problem. In my last campaign, I would supplement all my Perform (comedy) checks (of which there were many) with actual humor. The times I produced huge amounts of laughter were all the times I rolled really high. My comic wit, wasted.

Congrats. May your day be filled with butterflies and pretty things. And cake.
