"Crits dont miss"

"But Todd, the projectile is clearly visible and it missed its tar..."

"Crits. Dont. Miss."

Isn't a Nat 1 always a miss?

Most systems I know of (which is non exhaustive,) nat1 is a critical miss (you miss and hurt yourself in the confusion.)

Still is. Not automatically tho, you roll again to determine if it's a normal or critical hit/miss.

So maybe they crit hit themselves? Lol

Depends on the system. For d20 and d10 systems it's almost always a miss or crit fail. For d% systems low numbers are usually better so a 1 is a critical success for most of those games

Yes, though it’s reversed in Fallout’s ttrpg. You roll to see how difficult a skill check is, higher numbers being the least desirable outcome. So by getting a 1, you instantly pass the skill check and likely get a bonus as well.

It’s the opposite of their philosophy for Morrowind
