DM: After some time, you’re able to get yourself dry.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, I can have some dignity now?
DM: Uh… A little.
Twilight Sparkle: Whatever. Let me guess: Rainbow Dash is who we’re supposed to meet about the weather, right?
DM: Yes. She’s in charge of keeping the sky clear.
Twilight Sparkle: And what’s the sky like right now?
DM: Sunny, but cloudy.
Twilight Sparkle: That’s what I thought. She’s not very good at her job, then.
Rainbow Dash: Hey! My special talent is racing. Clearing away a few clouds would take no time at all.
DM: It’s possible. For your talent, you get a bonus to…
Rainbow Dash: <roll> Doesn’t matter. Natural 20 on Acrobatics.
SFX: (POOF) (WHOOSH) (PHOOM)
Rainbow Dash: Where’s your cloudy sky now??
DM: …Gone. A natural 20 on a “special talent” is not just a critical success, it’s a spectacular success. You cleared away the clouds in 10 seconds flat.
Rainbow Dash: AWESOME! …I mean, whatever.
