Critical Streaks (1's & 20's)

[Devigor]

how long has this particular dice running to extremes been with you? As much as I consider it statistically unlikely I have notices certain players do seem to up with extremes more often than others for no reason I can adequately explain. Two notably. I had an acquaintance (friend of our DM) who in 2e never rarely had a character without an 18, almost never had any scores below 12 and often had a average in the 15-16 range. He would use other people's dice and still come up with a similar result.

Yup. I have been rolling like this for months. With many many sets of dice.
I have rolled up 7 characters (at different times) that have had straight 18's in the last few months, right in front of my DM's. The lowest set of abilities I have gotten for a year or so is Str 11 Con 14 Dex 14 Int 17 Wis 9 Cha 5.

...It doesn't make a crit any more critical, or turn a roll into a crit, etc.

Take video. Send to DARPA. You'll either make millions or die in horrible experiments.
Or go to Vegas. . . play Craps

Good idea. I think I'll do that. The first one, not gambling. The first time I gamble will be when I lose my luck.
