Natural 20's in Epic Path are always good. In combat, a natural 20 always hits, for example. Natural 20's are related to but different than the threat range (or critical range) of a weapon. A natural 20 always hits, and usually threatens a crit, as well, but crits must still be confirmed, and it is possible to roll a natural 20, hit, but then miss the confirmation roll. it is also common for the threat range to be wider than just a 20, and if you roll a number inside the threat range of your weapon (say, a 19), but that result still mosses your target, then that is just a plain miss, with no extra result. | ||
If you are using an electronic die roller, a natural 20 is the base result coming up as a 20 before any modifiers are added or removed. If your die roller won't report the base result, than you cannot claim the sweet, sweet rewards of that lucky roll, so buy some dice. | If you are using an electronic die roller, a natural 20 is the base result coming up as a 20 before any modifiers are added or removed.
