Travis has the power to roll absolutely perfectly for maximum drama, comedy, or badassery, as the situation calls for. Probability bends around the power of plot for him.
Tbf it was kind of self-inflicted, if you have a 10ft run up before your jump you can make a distance equal to your strength score in feet without needing a roll.

There have been a lot of spectacular failures and glorious triumphs with the natural 1's & 20's, but somehow Travis just finds a way to push it even further on both ends.
@Kristopher Chavez Depends on how you phrase it. If all rolls are independent and unconnected to each other, then you’re right. But if we consider that each roll before Travis last roll have to be 2 nat 20 for Lionel land 1 nat 1 for Grog, the combinations of that should be (1/20)*(1/20)*(1/20)*(1/20).
What about recently when Beau hit a natural one, swore loudly and Caleb went deadpan, “That’s the goal”? Suddenly everyone but Caleb burst into laughter with Matt going “Even when Beauregard loses, she wins.”
Gotta love it when none of these Natural 1s are from the Wil Wheaton Dice Curse episodes. I mean, these are pretty hilarious in their own right...but there's nothing like watching the mental breakdowns of everyone trying to figure out how Wil Wheaton can defy math and physics.
Love that these guys are listening to the Oblivion soundtrack during their campaigns. I don't play DND whatsoever, but this group is really fun to watch and listen. Thanks for the compilation!
You can add Laudna's 1 to the list. Also, for future DMs, you do not sink in lava. You will bounce off it like hitting concrete. Any fall from height into lava should take falling damage on top of heat.
9:00 Man that role...It would have changed everything. Matt stated in one of the Q&A´s that if Travis had done that, then Grog would have been possessed by the Githyanki pirate & he would gradually try to control Grogs actions more & more
I'm pretty sure if you were to fall into a river of molten lava you wouldn't actually sink, the liquid rock being heavier than you. You'd most likely float on the surface easily.
I remember a moment in my current campaign, I rolled 6 Nat 1’s out of 12 total rolls. It was that kind of night for me. I believe I also rolled double Nat 1’s on one roll. I think I’ve also rolled the most Nat 1’s out of the group lol. But I will say, in clutch moments, I’ve had good rolls so I guess that’s how the universe balances everything lmao
Get yo-self some new dice. Sometimes they are badly mis-weighted. I have a dice that defaults to crits more than any other roll. After realising that, I tested all my dice, tallying the results of hundreds of rolls and seeing if they float in water because of hidden air pockets, etc. Whenever I am DMing, I am sure to use the dice that was the most balanced in all tests. Obviously you can just use Google dice or an app instead to prevent that... a lot quicker than rolling dice a couple of hundred times.
I thought, at first, you could cast Feather Fall on the chicken to give yourself a better shot. But Feather Fall has to be cast on a Creature. So, when the servant throws the chicken, you first have to cast Animate Dead. THEN you can cast Feather Fall, and it will be a much easier target!
My group didn't use "critical fumbles" so much as it was "if you roll a 1 funny things are going to happen". This eventually mutated into someone throwing their weapon. Then they roll a d8 for direction, and it goes 1d4 squares in that direction with the rule that if someone is in that direction it's an automatic hit and they roll just to see if they accidentally crit. Campaign "mid point" PC's have solved a major puzzle, gotten guidance from a goddess, amassed an army and charged a giant hive of monsters. The army buys them time to infiltrate. They sneak by the guards, and work their way to the stairs going down. A fight breaks out. Inquisitor goes first, charges... nat 1, throws his glaive off the stairs and cringes as he sees it go but doesn't hear the sound as the temple is deep. NPC bard that they all adore starts singing. Fighter charges in with his great sword, rolls a 1, rolls D8, rolls his D4, his great sword goes flying directly into the bard, he rolls, nat 20, confirms, rolls max possible damage. 1st round of combat 2 nat 1's, 1 dead beloved NPC. That dungeon was hilarious. Note, this method of nat 1's was mostly my players idea as I usually just gave some fluff as to how they failed and maybe granted an aoo or something. The inquisitor actually killed a boss during the campaign by accidentally throwing his glaive into the boss.
My first and experience i was playing the halfling rogue from the starter set i remember all my friends told me i was gonna roll all mat 20s I ended up rolling like 10 nat ones that night.... I didnt notice till the end of the night that halfling reroll ones...
@Kristopher Chavez The players hand book doesn't specify a limit, only stating that you have to use the new roll, so unless you've played at a table with homebrewed limitations then no halfling luck has no limits.
Ah- memorable Nat 1s.... Mine was when Avery (my Rouge) tried to sneakily open a door to get out of someone's house before he noticed us... Nat 1 and I pushed a pull door so hard I put my fuckin' elbow through it. Needless to say- I was spotted.
So we were playing in our game today and myself (Rogue) and our party Bard was having a friendly duel/sparring match with each other. In a town where such things are a cultural custom. Being a Tiefling I cast darkness to try and make it abit more interesting. Having a decent perception I knew where he was and thus threw a dagger in his direction. I casually rolled WITH ADVANTAGE mind.... Double Nat 1.... This dagger flies out of the darkness circle and embeds itself in the chest of an innocent commoner/bystander and kills her..... Total freak accident. But..... Yea jesus....

The video started with breakfast chickens, I already know this will be amazing.
The three natural 1s at the carnival game are literally one in a million chances!
It's 1/8000
Love that these guys are listening to the Oblivion soundtrack during their campaigns. I don't play DND whatsoever, but this group is really fun to watch and listen. Thanks for the compilation!
You can add Laudna's 1 to the list. Also, for future DMs, you do not sink in lava. You will bounce off it like hitting concrete. Any fall from height into lava should take falling damage on top of heat.
9:00 Man that role...It would have changed everything. Matt stated in one of the Q&A´s that if Travis had done that, then Grog would have been possessed by the Githyanki pirate & he would gradually try to control Grogs actions more & more
He still had Craven Edge at the time, too. 😳 The possibilities!
@@kaitlynwickham6237 Ohh yeah Craven Edge & The Githyanki would essentially be fighting over Grogs mind & soul then...
I wanna smile like how Liam smiles when someone rolls a 1
2:58 when talisen raised his hand to ask if there was gonna be a pool of blood at the door was hilarious
"for dignity's sake"... It's too perfect
Love this vid. Could add Imogen’s Nat 1 after Laudna’s stabbing or Laudna’s corresponding Nat 1 on her last death save from C3 😭
7:04 imagine being able to think that 2017 was a particularly bad year, what a nice luxury.
16:20 Taliesen showing true friendship xD
PLEASE keep Sam's arrow hit scream in the animated!
7:03
>This whole thing's a metaphor for 2017
Oh Matt, if only you knew how bad things got.
If only she had a ring of fire protection
"What are the chances?!"
Well, about that...
14:03 is my favourite, he's so excited.
4:50 Matt is just Sad
13:51 From the top of thr mountain to the bottom of thr valley. Poor Grog.
“Easiest number to count to.”
I'm pretty sure if you were to fall into a river of molten lava you wouldn't actually sink, the liquid rock being heavier than you. You'd most likely float on the surface easily.
I remember a moment in my current campaign, I rolled 6 Nat 1’s out of 12 total rolls. It was that kind of night for me. I believe I also rolled double Nat 1’s on one roll. I think I’ve also rolled the most Nat 1’s out of the group lol. But I will say, in clutch moments, I’ve had good rolls so I guess that’s how the universe balances everything lmao
Get yo-self some new dice. Sometimes they are badly mis-weighted. I have a dice that defaults to crits more than any other roll. After realising that, I tested all my dice, tallying the results of hundreds of rolls and seeing if they float in water because of hidden air pockets, etc. Whenever I am DMing, I am sure to use the dice that was the most balanced in all tests.
Obviously you can just use Google dice or an app instead to prevent that... a lot quicker than rolling dice a couple of hundred times.
You can play a divination wizard and give some of the 1s away.
Sam just going along with it is the best.
1:24 LIam's face right here is just the ultimate brother energy, absolutely elated at his sister's misfortune, I love it XD
Ahhhh so this is what vox machina came from.....dope
Taliesin's laugh at Travis' nat 1s gives me life. XD
7:04 "This whole thing's a metaphor for 2017"
Laughs in 2020
u could say she killed 2 "birds' with 1 "stone"
This is gonna be so awesome animated
I thought, at first, you could cast Feather Fall on the chicken to give yourself a better shot. But Feather Fall has to be cast on a Creature. So, when the servant throws the chicken, you first have to cast Animate Dead. THEN you can cast Feather Fall, and it will be a much easier target!
You can tell that the lava clip was old from the lack of singing after Marisha said "..make my way over".
It's so weird to hear 2017 given as an example of a bad year
Smash-cut to the end of "The Search for Grog"
Five most memorable nat 1's and Travis should have 3 of those with his throwing contest
My group didn't use "critical fumbles" so much as it was "if you roll a 1 funny things are going to happen". This eventually mutated into someone throwing their weapon. Then they roll a d8 for direction, and it goes 1d4 squares in that direction with the rule that if someone is in that direction it's an automatic hit and they roll just to see if they accidentally crit.
Campaign "mid point" PC's have solved a major puzzle, gotten guidance from a goddess, amassed an army and charged a giant hive of monsters. The army buys them time to infiltrate. They sneak by the guards, and work their way to the stairs going down. A fight breaks out. Inquisitor goes first, charges... nat 1, throws his glaive off the stairs and cringes as he sees it go but doesn't hear the sound as the temple is deep.
NPC bard that they all adore starts singing.
Fighter charges in with his great sword, rolls a 1, rolls D8, rolls his D4, his great sword goes flying directly into the bard, he rolls, nat 20, confirms, rolls max possible damage. 1st round of combat 2 nat 1's, 1 dead beloved NPC. That dungeon was hilarious.
Note, this method of nat 1's was mostly my players idea as I usually just gave some fluff as to how they failed and maybe granted an aoo or something. The inquisitor actually killed a boss during the campaign by accidentally throwing his glaive into the boss.
My first and experience i was playing the halfling rogue from the starter set i remember all my friends told me i was gonna roll all mat 20s
I ended up rolling like 10 nat ones that night.... I didnt notice till the end of the night that halfling reroll ones...
@Kristopher Chavez The players hand book doesn't specify a limit, only stating that you have to use the new roll, so unless you've played at a table with homebrewed limitations then no halfling luck has no limits.
Ah- memorable Nat 1s.... Mine was when Avery (my Rouge) tried to sneakily open a door to get out of someone's house before he noticed us... Nat 1 and I pushed a pull door so hard I put my fuckin' elbow through it. Needless to say- I was spotted.
"What are the fucking chances!?"
Well... about 1 in 20
16:06 Travis.exe has stopped working
I had a -1 for my perception, and I just my luck, I roll two nat ones in a row getting a 0.
I’ve never been so scared of a d20 in my life
5 nat ones and 3 of them were fjord
So we were playing in our game today and myself (Rogue) and our party Bard was having a friendly duel/sparring match with each other. In a town where such things are a cultural custom. Being a Tiefling I cast darkness to try and make it abit more interesting. Having a decent perception I knew where he was and thus threw a dagger in his direction. I casually rolled WITH ADVANTAGE mind.... Double Nat 1....
This dagger flies out of the darkness circle and embeds itself in the chest of an innocent commoner/bystander and kills her..... Total freak accident. But..... Yea jesus....
THREE NAT ONES IN A ROW... HOW. LOL!
Sandbag: 1 in 8000 chance of that. :D
Mostly Travis.
Ya hate to see it...
But ya love to watch it happen! 🤣😂🤣
Travis is such a lovable goof ball, they all are 😁
Keyleth trying to find a friendly Sun Tree to talk to should be here.
oh there is another one now
