And one of my players rolled 10+ successes on one of his tests.

I was starting to think that the mastery dice were weighted to righteous successes..

Anyway, amazed at his luck the player checked out his card for twin strike to see how much he'd battered his enemy and got a lip wobble when he realized he only needed 2

Lucky Seven! *SSSSSSS*: As above but double damage.

I gave the party card a fate point and a suitably cool description of the mayhem, but I was stuck after that.

I fears (and I think he's right) thats the luckiest he'll ever be in game, and it was only against some Beastmen.

But he'll go into every combat knowing that it 'could' happen again. He's now got a glimmer of hope that he can achieve the impossible - a glimmer of hope that you can crush at your leisure...

It was amusing actually because the last 'Fantsy' setting we'd played was Exalted.

I started out saying 'Remember this will be grittier, there wont be any ten success attacks here'

Should learn really

No no, its good, now you can as OP said, crush his hopes and dreams of glory and have an orc or beastman feast on his guts. Also Nom exalted.

The One In A Million roll should always be a possibility, but not happen all that often. i don't think he'll see it again.

how many times did the expertise die expode?

Had something similar happen in our game this weekend (although only a meager 5 righteous successes). Also, in my demo game back before the rollout my son scored 7 successes on a single blow from the trollslayer. I'm tempted to allow 2 x Hammer = +1 damage to give rolls like that some teeth. I find players are universally pained when they get such a crazy roll and it's pretty much for nought.

'Course, the dice are fickle *******... we had the same guy roll a giant pool only to come up empty after everything cancelled out. We've been playing FATE a lot so I let him spend fortune points after the fact. He proceeded to roll three more blanks. Ahhhhhh... justice.
