@JeremyECrawford If a Rogue, with the Reliable Talent feature, rolls a nat 1, does it fail? Or is it a 10?

It's not an automatic failure if you make an ability check and roll a 1 on the d20. 1 = a miss for an attack roll. #DnD https://t.co/ZpjHoVtIkV

@jasonshamblin @Dan_conley19Thank you, Mr. Crawford. Never liked the idea of crit fails or a magic 1/20 chance to succeed at ANY check. We especially don't want automatic success on ability checks. There are things you simply can't do or know.

@JeremyECrawford @Dan_conley19 conversely does a natural 20 mean an automatic success on an attack or skill check regardless of DC or AC?

In the core rules, rolling a 1 or 20 on a d20 has a special rule only if you're making an attack roll or a death saving throw. #DnD https://t.co/Kdi0fRM20W
