[QUOTE="Ahrimon, post: 3978938, member: 12630"] You don't come off as preachy, but you'll forgive me if I can't beleive a word of it. You've never corrected a challenge mistake by adjusting a few choice rolls to give the players a shot? Or, would you just let the last four months of the campaigne grind to a screeching halt because of a mistake? And don't say that you don't make mistakes. We're all human, except for maybe a few oddballs around here. :p If as a player you've managed to resist that temptation to "miracuosly" stabilize at the last possible second before the character you've been nurturing for the last year bites the dust. Then I applaud your willpower. Or it might be that your characters are nothing more than numbers on paper to be used and discarded as needed so there is never a temptation to "adjust" something. (not attacking you, just a viable game style) And to your statement that you would not want to be friends with someone that had done even a tiny amount of fudging, then you're not exactly what I would call friend material. To seriously throw away a friend because they only did 18 points of damage leaving the BBEG on the brink of death or 20 pts of damage and saving the day for all, is extremely shallow in my oppinion. (This last bit sounds preachy and/or attacking. I don't mean to insult you at all. It's just that what you would do over such a minor thing is an anathema to what I would call a friend.) I honestly think we've all done it at one time or another over the last 30 or so years. It's not something that's here for the new generation. It's just something we've done to keep the fun rolling along. [/QUOTE]
