I very quickly came to this conclusion! That's one reason why I let the Trollkin attack first in the example - I needed to guarantee they's all be there!

Many moons ago, (now there's a phrase with Gloranthan resonance!) I knew a D&D player famed for his lousy dice rolls. We persuaded him to play "Bushido!" and he managed to roll 3 Natural 20's in a row! - Unfortunatley, like HQ, in Bushido you want to roll under your skill, so he actually managed to Fumble & break his katana... So you are not alone!

Ahah! That makes more sense. I suspect I might have come to that conclusion with the rulebook in front of me rather than working from memory - but then I don't want to have to keep refering to the rules in play, so this positivie reinforcemment is a good thing...
