DND players, what was your funniest “nat 20” moment? (r/askreddit)

I convinced small girl that i am her father

I remember that my friend wanted once to kill 1 enemy buy he always had from 1 to 5, after all he killed him, and later he wanted to kill a child, and he rolls and there is nat 20

Pov: Your Here for the Bard Story

my first time playing, we came across a dwarven city underground with a giant river flowing through the middle. i saw some wagons to the side, i decided to go over to them... i rolled a nat 20... and went white water rafting down the river only to realize it was a dead end... i didnt die somehow

My friend wanted to do a special game for one night. He ended up doing a zombies from Black Ops type thing. We started off naked and I successfully killed 2 zombies doing a flip and giving them a mushroom stamp on their forehead with my dick. I saved my party and we survived the encounter.

My group wanted to see if we could find an egg of a monster we made leave without hurting us, everyone rolled a nat 20, except me i got a 6

I was told I was hit, and I had very bad luck, so I said "guess I'll just die" expecting to die, but rolled a 20, I died a slow and painful death...

Nat 20 story in the current campaign that I'm in

We walked into a house that had seemed to be robbed and the DM said to us " in the house there are 5 bandits" I (an 11ft Kenkun Monk) immediately say "ROLL FOR SUDDUCTION!!!!" (at this point I had been a better bard than the actual bard since I had a body count of 3 in the first 30 minutes). The DM then said, "You have to roll a nat 20 otherwise you WILL die". I then responded by saying "bet". I then rolled a nat 20 and then proceeded to f*** 4 of the 5 bandits to death as one of my party members killed the 5th. Also sidenote, the house was dark, so I didn't even know what I was f***ing.

I HAVE ONE LIKE THIS

Every time one of our party members tries to rizz an npc, they always roll a nat 20. To keep this tradition alive the last time I tried to rizz up the freaking orc king my DM kept giving me inspiration by the other 7 times someone rolled a nat 20 on a Yeti, Hag, party members homophobic older brother, A GOD, a lich, and a couple things I can’t remember. I finally passed with a 19 plus my bonus. Funniest crap ever.

Emasculating a demon-troll with a single punch.
The DM made the choice of describing it has:
"Like a tomato that has been splattered against a wall."

We were all battling a Lich.

Two members were bloodied and it was clear that we just had a matter of 2-3 turns before wiped.

Out of character; we pulled up a prayer to the dice gods and said it all together in character.

The dice rolled…. Crit

We celebrated like we just won some major sports championship. The Lich was declared bloodied by the DM. We ended up barely surviving that session, but we won.

One time I rolled a nat 20 for "moral slap" in the face of another player of my party, changed his character moral alignment right there

i rolled a nat 20 when praying to andrew tate

I was the DM and the barbarian during a quest pinned a gnome down (he did not have to) and after the quest was done he asked if he could bring gnome as a sidekick of sorts it told him to roll for it nat 20

i was a druid tiefling in my first campaign ad i managed to seduce the bbg who was a white dragon in form of a pretty cute guy and for a while after that many of my character were there children cause it made my friends laugh at how tf i couldve finished the campain in one session

My first ever time I got hit it was a nat 20 but luckily I got the damage reduced 😅

My friends character, who has dyslexia, rolled a nat 20 reading a sign... The DM had her have an out of body experience and the words of the sign were echoed during the whole thing

Mine is from my very first TTRPG campaign ever. PF1e. Kobold only campaign. I was playing a Barbarian (Titan Mauler).
So, a bit before the big Nat 20 moment, my character had found a kobold who was actively bleeding out and dying, and decided this half-dead kobold was his new friend. Our party didn't have any healers, so I just added him to my inventory.
2 sessions later, we encountered the first boss of the campaign: A baby black dragon. Of course, being a kobold only party, our first instinct was to roll Animal Handling. GM refused, saying "It's too hungry to be tamed." so we began throwing our rations to it. The GM refused Animal Handling again, stating "It specifically wants kobold meat."
That's when I remembered I had a (now very dead) kobold in my inventory, so I threw it to the dragon.
GM: siiiigh Roll Animal Handling...
Nat. Fucking. 20. Instantly went from first boss to party mascot.
Unfortunately the campaign fell apart 3 sessions later.

this vid is goofy

The introduction of my barbarian to my group. They weren't sure who would win in a fight my barbarian or the party archer/rogue. Well my barbarian opened a door and was charmed by a vampire. I rolled a dice to randomly choose my target and it was the rogue. I proceeded to roll my nat 20 and confirming the critial and one shot the rogue ending the debate with one decisive swing of his hammer. I rolled another nat 20 and confirmed against our paladin and left him at 1 hp as well. Needless to say the party made its ajustments to prevent the barbarian from things like that again.

i have an idea for a armor piece for dnd

its a helmet called the time crusader's time manipulation helmet and what it does is it can steal from the past so if u get something like a nat 20 but u only needed 6 u steal the amount u dont need to the now time and adds it to the next roll you do. And u get it by fighting the time crusader who's a necromancer who can only summon 4 enemy's every turn difficult but majorly overpowered however u also get a revival potion upon entering battle with him to get the helmet u have to die use a item called revival potion i be it a team mate forces the potion down ur throat (pause) and then ur back with negative hp (unless it isn't the said boss fight time crusader in which case it just restores ur hp to max plus 1 so 21 out of 20 (21/20)- hp) which u then "Give the negative hp to each of the ghoul's, zombie's, and skeleton's, or whatever to turn them to ur side which u then use them to kill the boss gaining the helmet very very complicated

u most probably should make the boss fight a merchant and to activate his "boss fight" u would hit the merchant DUH anyways make sure its optional duh doi if u make him mandatory they would get the item for free :|


IF UR STILL HERE GIMME A LIKE :D

Not a nat 20, but during my Icewind dale campaign I was playing a Goliath Scribe Wizard and fighting a bunch of Ice Mephits that was taunting me every turn, so, channeling his Goliath heritage, in anger and rage, casts Immolate on that one, single Mephit.

For context, Ice Mephits have 11hp and are weak to fire

Mephit nat 1s the save which by homebrew rules acts like a critical hit against the target

16d6 damage, rolling max damage on 12 of the dice. Total rolled damage to about 80ish damage

Doubled.

Against a creature that has 11hp

The amount of laughter as the DM said I “erase this mephits entire bloodline past, present and future into literal ash”

LOL. I was searching for a place to share the little story from my experience as a player. I was investegating a case with shadow cult as cleric and when I finally came to the end of the case I had to fight an Arch-Demon. Being a cleric I wasn't really able to output much of damage and at one point I fainted. DM rolled some dices and my companions (1 female and 1 male fighters) successfully defeated the demon. So DM told me to roll to prevent the death. I failed 3 rolls in a row(2 of them was 1 LOL). I was given second chance and situation almost repeated itself (1 nat 1 this time). We sat there sat and I got an idea in my mind like "My character is a cleric, right? So maybe god will interfer and revive me or something" DM agreed and I rolled for religion. Nat 20. My guy has met his fucking god and got revived. He was telling it to the others of the team but everyone though he is crazy

Hid behind a rock in a cave and told some goblins the rock was alive and they are Trust passing

OH OH I HAVE ONE I HAVE ONE

Ok so the other day I was on a sleepover playing a new DnD campaign and we where ambushed by 56 rats and I said "I have an idea" and the DM said roll for luck or smth and I rolled a 19 then I rolled for smth else and got a Nat 20 or idk if the 20 came before the 19 I forgot but yeah I didn't even say the idea and it was so good that the rats joined our team they are named the Michaels and just yesterday we got some Kobold's on our team (Thanks to me too) funny thing is that I'm the one that has made people join our team but I'm not even the commander of those people we're playing it next Wednesday and then we'll continue it bi-weekly (Once every 2 weeks) I'll update on the story

I had an experience where I was rolling for loot and got natural 20 and my dm was so mad but we couldn’t stop laughing I was playing a swashbuckler rogue and got a third cutlass with +8 to lightning damage. He said dammit get rid of one of your cutlasses 🤣

So my friend had always rolled really low. He always never saw anything. He made a bet with are dm that if he rolled low enough all the monsters there would disappear. Like an I cant see you so you dont exist sorta thing. The one and ONLY time he rolled a nat 20 was for this bet. We spent the rest of the year trying to fight off DOUBLE the monsters because of him. Its still funny.

during a campain i played a gif cock, always harvested ingredients, this enemy just happened to be a plant based creature, and i killed one. then proceeded to eat him infront of his companions , they got scared and ran away.

once I was playing a halfling and tossed a handful of sand into an ogres eyes... Apparently he flinched and raised his head into a stalactite, killing him instantly. lol

So I'm basically a warlock Triton in like the Arctic and Triton can pretty much say anything to something with swimming speed. My friend who just joined as a barbarian was basically a prisoner being walked through the tundra by nulls. And he broke free and all that jazz but I started messing with his character. I managed to use laughter on him and went to the open water. From there I called for help because I'm a toothpick compared to him. The thing is, is that he left and I realized that so I left the water. Only to find myself face to face with a snowy owl bear. I was worried about being eaten alive cause it roared in my face. So I rolled persuasion to say stop to it and got a 20. The dm just said that it suddenly wasn't that hungry anymore.

Me and the party were stuck inside a well after fighting in the sewers. All but one of us were able to climb out. They rolled a nat one and broke their arm instead. So once we got out we sent a rope down so they can tie themselves up so we could pull them up. Our warlock wanted to be the one to pull it. He rolled a nat 20 and he pulled with all his strength. Instead of a calm and stable pull up. Our injured party member literally got fling out and had decent air time before he landed on me and broke my wing. I failed my attempt to evade them. It was hilarious.

My friend once rolled to teach his pet rat how to play a guitar. He rolled a nat 20. The rat now plays better then him.

I rolled a nat 20 on jumping out of a window (that’s the first thing I did)

So the first nat 20 of the game was when the dm asked us when we were searching for stuff in a cave after we slayed the goblins in it. I rolled a 20, the second player rolled a 20, the last player rolled a (dirty)20.

We were howling.

Anyway the dm was so excited that happened that he gave us op items.

I got a "scroll of protection" I could re-use infinitely.

I tell you that every. single. Time. I used it I rolled a nat 1, making the player I cast it on fall asleep.

So we fight a boss and I make someone sleep again. I get frustrated and say "you know what, all this scroll does is put people to sleep." Dm tells me to roll wis and I roll quite low.

I get an 18 on the boss.
His hp is now double and one of the pcs is still asleep

I burnt the scroll afterward

So I’m a goblin rouge and we had this kolbat rouge who’s character had a deck of many things, the first time he pulled a card his soul got sucked out of his body and he was standing there lifeless (basically dead). My little four foot tall rouge woke up for her shift to watch, saw him and decided she was going to poke him in which I rolled a nat 20.

I then stole all of his experience and the orc barbarian killed him before I butchered and cooked the kolbat :]

so lemme set the scene:

Dragon: I see you have entered my lair. For what reason, would you dare, to enter my lair. Have your brought me a gift?

Party: Begins talking to the dragon, trying to bargain (LIKE I DESIGNED.)

Rouge: Okay, Can I sneak behind the dragon and stab him?

DM: … You want to stab the all-knowing, all-seeing dragon who can read minds and kill you with one s- YOURE NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE TRYING TO FIGHT THIS THING- yknow what.. fine. If you miss this then your entire party loses a life. (You have 5 lives since it was a hard campaign)

Rouge: Nat20.

DM: siiiiiiigh The dragon roars as you stab between it’s scales. It turns around and sw-

Rouge: let me… Intimidate the dragon into giving us the cave.

DM: wha?- SHES A DRA-

Rogue: Nat20.

DM: The dragon runs out crying but the cave collapses on the way out and you now have no food and no water. Good job.

I once heard randoms play DND on convent and one of them rolled 20 on fucking random duck ._.

Last session I rolled a nat 20 on an Eldritch Blast, and did minimal damage. It took about five minutes for everyone to stop laughing.

I once became so bored with a DM's crappy storytelling that I somehow made a nat 20 Bluff check for my half-elf wizard to convince a peryton that they were—somehow—twin brothers and needed to work together to stop a group of slavers. DM was one of those 'the dice decide everything' types, so he allowed it despite acknowledging that it made absolutely no sense even for the loose Bluff rules...

This wasn’t a Nat 20 for us but a Nat 1 for The DM

We’re playing Curse of Strahd and we recently leveled up to 6 so we had went to a graveyard and we were at a funeral. Everyone left except two siblings, a priest and our party. Strahd appeared wanting the girl and summoned his minions to attack our party. He had summoned wolves, vampire spawns and zombies. A while later our witch killed a wolf and Strahd attacked her. When he was going to attack again he missed and fell on his ass into of swarm off bats and dissappeared. After we defeated most the enemies we see Strahd appear infront of the Priest asking for the girl. My character who is a bard decided to use Vicious Mockery on Strahd which made disappear due to being embarrassed and damaged-

This was supposed to be a serious fight yet our party made Strahd and his Second in Command look like absolute idiots- The DM was surprised by this and impressed

There was a group of cultist sitting at the top of a mountain trying to drop the mountain on top of my party. They all avoided the falling boulders and my rouge asked to blend into the group of cultists by killing one and stealing his outfit. Rolled a Nat 20 and spent the whole session relaying information to the party as they prepared for war with the cultists.

Mine was I was at a circus in the city and there was a giant goose named tonk the honk, i got to ride on him and i had to make a bunch of dex saves and on the last one i got a Nat 20 and i survived the ride, the circus host was so impressed he gave me a magical tonk the honk plushie that basically had a burning hands ability but with different elements

One time I was the dm in a cyberpunk campaign and the players were in a fight with a hitman as they were getting off with a spaceship. The hangar of the ship was open and when the hitman died, they said that they wanted to kill him by kicking him outta the ship, making him fall a couple hundred meters. They were also joking about how the hitman was immortal as he had a lot of hp. So I decided to roll a dice for the hitman, deciding if he survives the fall. Nat 20. Later on in the campaign I made the party fight an undead and more powerful version of the hitman.

So my character is a Goliath and we were on a quest where there was a waterfall and we all rolled perception even tho I had no arcana while all the others did I was the only one who saw the arcana flowing through the water because I rolled a D20

Personally in my campaingn there was a very funny thing that happened. The mage had a capacity that inverted the strenght and mana stats for one turn. She had 3 strenght and 18 mana. When she used it, she rolled a nat 1, which means when she were BUFF, she holded the dagger so tightly she broke it, rendering the capacity useless.
Then, much later she reused that capacity. What do you know, nat 1 again. This time she didn't want to remake the mistake, so she holded it with precaution. She barely damage the opponent because she holded it too losely.

I did a nat 20 back in the day to open a stolen chest, and i was a stealth type... However, when i opened the chest, the dm got some funny payback, and now i had a bound item called the tutu of brimming. It was bright pink and shined light when i ran so far away from the party so they could find me because i was basically zoro from onepiece and eventually met my doom because I did a horrible role against a random stick...lol

I’m not a DM, but…
I was playing as a blind warrior in a homebrew… and the bloody second the party wasn’t looking at her when they went to a farm during a quest she got lost in the corn field.
And I asked “can I roll for Hide”
And nat20’d.
The party lost their shit for a while lol

The demon dice dude? Total bullshit. You don’t roll a d20 for damage and that 3rd roll doesn’t even make sense lol
