Maybe it's just a southern thing, but "wall" around here doesn't necessarily mean a constructed fortification.

All the time. As well as in the real world:

Who said it was worked stone?

Rock to mud.

By the book.

Only if he's a pushover DM.

Ask again in 40 years when people are still playing it and no one can name a single adventure post 2000.

No, it's not equal, but it is analogous to an umpire INTENTIONALLY makes the wrong call. At any rate, I'm just stating my opinion, that fudging is never acceptable, and I will not play in a game where it exists. As always, you are free to disagree, and I wish you well in your gaming. Now, I'm...

I've played and ran games with a lich on the random encounter table. Explain to me why that could never make sense? There's never a chance for the lich to come home while the pcs are looting his lair? You know what, nevermind. My ignore list, that's going on 16 years just got it's 2nd entry.

In other words, there was never an opportunity to decapitate him. So why describe it as such? For instance, if a dm doesn't want a lich to show up on a random encounter check, he should not fudge the result. The lich shouldn't be on the chart in the first place if he's going to ignore it. If...

Sorry, that's not an argument. I'm not saying no one can ever fufge either. The point of this thread was to assess how many people fudged and how many people didn't and their reasons for doing so. I'm somehow wrong for posting my thoughts? I haven't accused anyone of "malevolent intent."...

Who is they? Edited for snarkiness.

Except that he has. He has turned an out into a run or a perfect game into a one hitter - nah, that could never happen.
