For me, if I'm low on health and the bad guys miss (often or not), I start to wonder, "should that have hit me? Should I be dead or down right now?" It's impulse, and it hurts my immersion. That's why I've asked two GMs not to fudge stuff for me (but not to stop fudging altogether). I'm less picky about "coincidental" stuff happening, but fudging stuff to help me (or having a policy where you're willing to do that, even if you don't) can get under my skin, since I get pulled out of immersion.But, I really don't mind other players / groups not adhering to that. And, I've also played with my brother in many campaigns that I haven't mentioned it in (and he used to fudge a couple times per session, I'd say). Mainly, for me, it's the policy that pulls me from immersion, not so much the actual fudging. Again, though, I don't mind other groups playing with it.At any rate, I was just answering your question, by saying whether or not I bring it up as a GM / player. And in this post, why I do that, I guess (as a GM, I bring it up so people aren't surprised). I do agree with you that being a GM can definitely affect or change how you act as a player, though. And mostly for the good of the GM you're playing under. On the same note, being a player occasionally can really help you as a GM, too. As always, play what you like <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
