When you roll a natural 12, take +1 forward, and justify it (how does your success give you an advantage?) When you roll a natural 2, take -1 forward, and justify it after hearing what happens as a result of your miss.
Why though? The dice rolls are already split into 3 sections …. why keep splitting them?
Not saying don’t do this for your personal taste, but having 5 rules for dice seems awkward in a rules light system.
1. DW is at least in part inspired by OD&D, in which case -“A Natural 20!! Woo-Hoo!! Let me roll on that Crit table!”
2. Players like special results for rolling well. In the right group these rules will play very well.
What Gordon said, though you make a good point tommy. I think
“on a natural 12 deal double damage” could just get grafted onto every other move.
I mean wouldn’t it be awesome to spout lore AND deal double damage?
That’s why I made sure to let you know, I did not want to stomp on your personal taste.
hmm rolling a natural 12 or 2 =%2.7, a 20 is %5
I don’t remember a crit table in OD&D, though my experience with O is through BEMCI
Can we refer to a Natural Twelve as a “(Vincent) Baker’s Dozen?”
yes we can
There’s no hard and fast rules connected with it, but natural Snake-Eyes and Boxcars always mean something extra in my DW game.
Lodestar has an additional mechanic that can push a Hit into a Pass, with the meta-rule that a VBDozen is always a Hit no matter what Weights or Wounds you have. Likewise, no matter what bonus you’ve got stacked up for your roll, Snake Eyes is always a Miss.
In our one-shot test session of DW, we unconsciously gave critical hits and failures power. There was no mechanical definition, but whenever a 2 or 12 came up, it was reflected in the fiction. Interestingly, no one ever discussed it beforehand or after, it just happened. And it was quite satisfying.
I really want to play Lodestar
I worked it into the Wild Mage!
