I’d rather roll a 17 than a 19 haha

This is what I tell myself when I buy lottery tickets. I legit imagine the D20 and everything. Keeps me going.

There's actually something to this. Olympians that were surveyed reported more satisfaction with a bronze than a silver.

maybe the real meme was the memes we memed along the way.

That makes a lot of sense, thinking about it. With a bronze, you can say, "well, I had a really rough day, but even still I managed to eke out a bronze." But with silver, you're tempted to say "...but could I have done 0.2s better and got the gold?"

*needs an 18 to pass*

10 over crits

I hate this; back in 3e/3.5e a keen scimitar could crit on a 17 because a scimitar's crit range was 18-20 (keen widens crit range) I hate 5e for simplifying everything so much

Amen brother

Note the 17.

Love you too <3

Try Pathfinder! You crit whenever you exceed the target by 10 or more, and different weapons have different crit effects. For example, a Longbow is `Deadly d10` so in addition to doing double base damage you also add in a d10. Your scimitar is `Forceful` and `Sweep`, which doesn't do anything extra on a crit, but does add extra damage and a bonus to hit with multiple attacks. Perfect for a whirling dervish type character.

Say it again after rolling a 3.

I rolled a 4

That's how they get you. Fukken scammers.

Their AC was 18 so my best wasn't good enough to make a dent today.

Except you should be imagining a D900,000,000

Depending on the sport sometimes a bronze is a win and a silver is a loss. With some sports, if it’s a one on one thing, there’s a game that’s basically “if you win it’s a bronze, if you lose it’s fourth place” and then the next game (with different team obviously) is “if you win it’s a gold, if you lose it’s a silver”. So if you get a bronze, you won, if you get a silver, you lose.

For some games, you want to roll low. So a 17 would be a failure.

That's only because you forgot to add your proficiency modifier. Don't forget to take your own skills and circumstances into account! You have more to contribute than you think!
