[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 6507688, member: 32740"] I most certainly do fudge dice rolls because it is an exceptionally useful tool if it is not abused. How often is irrelevant. I use it when needed and nonetheless try to avoid it. DM's, by definition, do not play by the rules. Ultimately they make the rules - not the game author and most certainly NOT the players. If other DM's feel better about not ever fudging dice well that is most laudable and I applaud them. They should game and be happy. I say the DM gives up valuable options for running the game if he feels that it's actually WRONG to fudge dice and even worse if they make all rolls in the open. Again, if that works for you then good on ya. I prefer not to allow players the unfettered ability to meta-game by seeing all dice results. If this is all something they can't tolerate then I'll attempt to convince them otherwise but ultimately I'll simply have to tell them they are free to seek another game under another DM. [/QUOTE]
