    This is a roll the DM should make. It’s better to not know a rolls number in a situation like this. Very few players can roll play and ignore meta information like knowing they crit failed. It’s more fun to play the character in ignorance of that knowledge. Only the outcome.

    Should be fine unless you hit the throttle. Bad idea though because if it goes wrong lol

      Last time I commented this same thing on this picture someone reminded me that chainsaws often use centripetal clutches so there’s a bunch of ways it can accidentally engage without actually hitting the throttle

      Came to say the same thing. Technically he should be fine but I would never want to test that theory out. For those who don’t know there’s a spot to put your foot to hold it down while you start it up.

        I haven’t seen one where it starts with the throttle on as in it would be moving the chain without the lock. I’ve had to do it manually on one though when it didn’t want to start otherwise.
