    Yeah, as DM I’ve always house ruled that it didn’t make sense for a character to fail at the thing they’re the best at.

    Though I have been known to interpret a natural 1 as a crazy external force - like an earthquake - and have them reroll at -10.

    Makes it even more fun when they succeed anyway.

      House Ruled? That’s RAW. Crit Fails and successes only apply to attack rolls and death saves. And that’s how it should be.
