Its just that when things go our way in the game, we tend to think it is cos of our talents and not some dumb AI program aiding and abetting our every move.

I've played D&D on just one occasion at school. I had no idea what was happening or what to do, and I breached etiquette by insisting that my character be allowed to go in a separate direction from the other players. The lad who was running the game (the 'dungeon master'?) said to me quietly afterwards that it was usually best if all players stuck together in one group. He had a steely glint in his eye.

Not because you are taking shots that are any different from the ones you usually take, but becuase this time, they all hit the crossbar, the post, the keeper or balloon ten meters over the top from three meters out. *They're the same shots you make in other games, but in this one, they don't go in.* How is that not a fix? A potion of invulnerability? Is that a D&D reference?
