Another Reason Why I Love My Job
Submitted by rowan on Fri, 05/09/2008 - 08:39.Friday Morning, 9:30 AM. Our weekly interdepartmental meeting:
VANESSA THE ENTERTAINMENT DIRECTOR: All right, so that wraps up marketing, production, costuming, and the equine department. Before we close, let's open for Round Table. Does anyone have anything they'd like to bring up?
JOHN: Actually, I would like to announce that last night I actually rolled *three*, yes three, natural 20s *in a row.*
((dead silence))
WES: Holy @(#$. Really?
JOHN: Yes.
ROWAN: Oh my God. Dude... well done, sir.
KEVIN: What are the odds of that?
((quick calculator work))
JOHN: .025%?
KEVIN: What is that, 1 in 400,000?
What followed was then a discussion of the exact damage multipliers that were involved because of said natural 20s (x9), which when coupled with the weapon type (axe) and strength bonuses already in effect (+10), meant that John did 189 damage in one blow on the night of Thursday, May the 8th, 2008.
And this was genuinely important enough to be discussed in our staff meeting.
