Betrayed by RNGesus
be me
playing DnD in highschool, can't remember which edition, possibly homebrewed a tad
due to my being absent the previous session, my character was drunk as can be, and I had disadvantage on every roll I made
How we did disadvantage (I don't know how anyone else does it) is you'd roll 2 dice, then take the lower of the 2 rolls
get into an encounter, not that dangerous
party is doing well, me, not so much (12 gold's worth of alcohol is not fun)
eventually, It's my turn again (there were like 15 people at the table)
I have to roll d20 to hit, and if I did, we'd calculate damage off a roll of an attack die. I used a d8, If I remember correctly.
anyway, I roll to hit, expecting another 4
it's a nat 20
table goes a bit wild, but I have to roll again, because disadvantage
dear god please don't be a 1
please
roll another nat 20
table explodes
DM is barely heard saying "roll for damage" over the commotion
I roll for damage
RNGesus catches up with me
roll 1
do no damage whatsoever
And so is the tale of how I wasted 2 natural 20s.
This is my first greentext, constructive criticism is appreciated!

dude when you roll a crit like that i'm pretty sure you roll 2 times on your damage dice. it may not have been a thing in the older versions,but it for the most part stops crap like this from happening
Dang. I wish I would have known that
one of my dms has us just double our damage and another one would have us roll damage and add it to our max number on the die so there are many ways to do it i guess; just dms preference
I think it's ruled out to role twice but plenty of tables only role once doubled
