It's not possible for a character to do better than rolling a 20 in a given situation. That doesn't necessarily mean that it was a huge success. If the character doesn't succeed on a 20, as is very possible in 5e, there shouldn't have been a roll in the first place. | |

| Aug 6, 2017 at 12:59 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | A 20 on a test means that you suceeded on what you were trying to do in the best way possible, it's a rewarding situation that makes up for all those critical failures ... Not so in this edition. The only "special" use of d20 is death saving throws and attacks that require a d20 roll. (Unless as a GM you choose to elaborate to enrich the narrative of the action in progress ...) see this answer for further commentary | |
