Natural 20 Doubles Down on the Black Pudding
While the party debates how to help land the next hit, Barzer's cantrip roll comes up a natural 20, doubling the damage for a clean crit on the black pudding.
The table is still working out how to give Barzer an edge on his next cantrip when the die lands and settles the question for them.
"That is a nat 20," Reece confirms, and the whole strategy conversation evaporates. Cantrip crits mean double damage, full stop.
"I do nat 20 as a double damage," Barzer says, already doing the math out loud. "You gave me double damage, so I got 8?" Eight points of clean, doubled damage straight into the black pudding, no setup required beyond a good roll at the right moment.
