Yeah. Larian made some really good changes to D&D, then they added crit fails to skill checks

Do you know how many times that has pissed me off? Especially on my rogue where even a 1 would have opened the damn lock.

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.
