And protect people from you.

I doubt you have ever played D&D, but that said, I am not surprised by your pathetic reply.

There would be a long list of things, I have no doubt. D&D owns these IP's now, though. They are part of D&D now.

Only your DM can decide if they want to fudge. It is NEVER cheating. Only your DM will know if it's good or not.

It is true, but none of this follows.

Right.

There is no way for the DM to cheat.

It is D&D, though. It would have to lose all of that, besides just the title obviously, which makes it D&D and then maybe not so many would have liked it.

It's purely over-powered.

Fudging can be just as effective once battle is joined, not just in preparation.

I agree. I know most players will appreciate the game going on.

It's really great fun for the DM to have powers no one else has. The DM's powers should also be mysterious, and unpredictable.

Not only that, Kender are immune to fear.

You should always have confidence in yourself as a DM, to fudge anything, for whatever reason. Just so long as you are still fair to all of the players, and trying to run the game. It's a question of whether you think the game would benefit, and just that.

Every time you perpetuate the stigma it's cheating, you make it more appealing to deny doing it. I don't have a problem with someone denying it, or doing it, but I'd rather not be informed either way.
