    rolling hundreds upon hundreds of dice, you're bound to roll poorly like this a few times, I've seen people vorpal 4 orthons in 1 shot before *shrug*

    Odds of rolling four consecutive 1's is ...

    1/20*1/20*1/20*1/20 = 1/160,000 = 0.00000525%

    I would say very unlucky.

    OMG ... this is **** true. Cleric and monk down, only me (the sorc), the barb and the rogue alive. Rogue Assasinating trash, me spamming fogs and irresistible dance. The red-named gets to me and hits me for about 150 and have several scourges on my ash. Whip out my heal scrolls (UMD 38), target self, cast-roll-1 fail ... fudge me ... click roll another 1 fail ... arrgh ... !!! Switched to my cure serious wand ... and healed me enough to whip the scrolls again w/o diying. They should make 1 + 1d20 rolls instead In any other situation I would've cast on the first try as soon as they going gets tough stupid dice starts giving me bad rolls.

    Godspeed.

    Yep Yep!! Been there, done that more times than I care to count. I do NOT believe the dice roll is random. You can throw in any argument you want with "proof" of a computer generated random dice roll... I DON'T CARE! Experience tells me that NO ONE rolls a 5 or under 80% of the time and it's "Random"...

    With a large enough sample size of users, SOMEONE will roll 5 or under 80% of the time. You are that user.
