[QUOTE="Goddess FallenAngel, post: 2220113, member: 11434"] Most of the people I game with, I trust for their die rolls. There was one individual I used to game with who would roll the die, cup it with his hand, tip his hand up so he could see the number on the die, announce "I hit" and pick up the die before anyone else could see it. He was so amusing in his lame attempts to cheat that we pretty much let him get away with it. He only did it when the roll 'really mattered', and he fumbled when he rolled in the open (this was 2nd edition AD&D) as much as he "hit", so it really didn't matter. On the other hand, I now game with someone whose die rolls I trust - but his math skills I do not. He'll roll a 5 on a skill check and end up with a total of 20 when we are 7th level. When it's pointed out, he'll look at his sheet and spend 15 minutes adding things, then announce, "Oh, I added this and this wrong".... It's quite frustrating. We also recently discovered that he had built his character on 10 more points then the rest of us - and then tried to argue with the DM when the DM said that was too many. He let it go after I and the other player pointed out the number of points that WE were told, which happened to be the same as the DM was saying. (And before you ask, I game with him because he's one of my roommates, and a good enough roleplayer that it makes his game-mechanic cheating bearable.) [/QUOTE]
