[QUOTE="Negflar2099, post: 4680852, member: 65944"] As others have pointed out playing any addition of D&D (or any role playing for that matter) requires trust on the part of GM and player alike. I know that a lot of people seem to take a zero tolerance policy towards cheating in RPG's but it's really very human thing to do. When it comes down to that last strike that may or may not save your party and the dice comes up 1 do you really want to admit it and thus let down everyone in the party? Especially if missing could lead to a TPK that could end the campaign? Look, I'm not advocating cheating but it does happen and I'm not about to kick someone out of my game if it happens. That said there is a full proof way to counter most of the cheating that goes on in 4e. It's called DI. You better believe every time a player uses a power I either look up their power in the character builder or look it up in the compendium. Some of that is good old fashioned confusion and not real cheating. After all there are a lot of powers and the wording can be hard to follow on some of them but either way I'm looking it up. It has really made a marked difference in my game. I can hardly wait until tomorrow's update. Now I can keep the Compendium open non-stop. Very cool. [/QUOTE]
