I have enabled the view of dice rolls in my message window. Is it just me, or is the d20 die in BG loaded? I think I see a lot more hit rolls of one's and twenty's (critical miss and critical hit) than you would if you rolled the die by hand. Especially on saving throws you see a lot of 17, 18, 19 and 20 rolls.

Some other questions: What happens on a critical miss? What happens on a critical hit if the target is not protected by a helemt? (I have seen some of the monsters, that clearly are NOT wearing a helmet, taking a critical hit - and then you could read that the critical hit was averted by the 'helmet'???)

A final question: Does strength bonus on damage and THAC0 also aply when using a bow (i.e. are all bows 'custom made' for the wielder)?
