    NO NO NO! You guys are missing the whole story! See, the crafting system works perfectly!

    Until you spend a level-and-a-half hunting down ingredients, and you only have 1 set of them for your latest project. After spending a good amount of gold getting the stuff to get your ingredients ready, and you're at the last step, POOF! Yo've rolled a 2. You needed a 3 or higher.

    Then, the world around you crumbles.

    Can you check my rolls for Armolas Folian in the last 48 hours or so?  Try as I might I can't seem to roll over a 5 or 6 when trying for Crystal Rod 2.  I should have a 40 percent shot and have had many many many fails consecutively, most under a 5.  I would not doubt that the rolls are accurate over time and people, but somewhere someone has got to be having marvelous luck at what they are attempting, cause luck is has fled far far from me.  I had to log tonight or I would have been violating the no swearing rule.

    I continue to find it quite humourous how bad luck is remembered more then good luck.

    Sure you missed the last 8 attempts at 40%.

    Now the 17 times before that you made 10 - 3 of them at 35%.

    So in the last week you've attempted 25 times and succeeded 10... hmm 40%

    Not sure what sort of comment you're looking for, but it doesn't need months and months to balance out...

    Hah!  The numbers never lie!

    ...except when they're planted by crooked cops trying to frame you for the murder of their wife.

    er wait... that was the plot line for that cheesy 80's move I watched last week...

    I have crafted a lot can never rember rolling a 20 but a shour got lots of 1's


    Unless you've only got a 5% chance of success (or you manage an exceptional item), you'll never know if you rolled a 20, because the die roll isn't visible on successes.

      All I know is that in Valoric's attempts at making choking powder, he has 12 tries and 12 failures, at 25%. Starting to annoy me, while Valoric doesn't seem phased.

      Highest roll so far (and the only one above 8 ) has been 13.

        good info for those stat majors...i just cuss and wave my arms a lot! Helps!  But it galls you to load up the furnace on a 85% And lose it all, then turn around and hit 2 out of 4 at 20%!  The good times should over shadow the lousy rolls....i know..dig more sand!

        Just aquestion about rolls and the skills.  When I dice a wis check.  Is it a random check or does it actualy take my 15 natural and +1 belt of cunning ( yes its cunning but it still gives +1 wis) into account?

        Your 15 natural and +1 from the belt should make your modifier a total of +3 on your 1d20 wis check.
