[QUOTE="Lord Xtheth, post: 3987747, member: 56179"] I cheat, hands down. I am however the DM of my group and if I so chose to cheat, its my desision. Also, I've caught most of my players cheating at one point or another, and have at some occasions, did somthing about it, and at others let it pass. In my mind its all about whats fun at the table. If the Players think I'm being so unfair in monster choises, de-buffs, or whatever that they need to cheat to have fun, I let it go. Then again, when I feel a player is getting way to liberal in their cheatery, I godspank their character. Cheats I've used: Roll 'n say : Roll the dice, say whatever number you want Roll 'n Snatch : rolling the dice and grabbing it before others see it Knocking : tipping a Die to a better number Stat modding : changing a stat mid-game to tip the odds No save : Arbitrarily deciding the player will fail a saving throw regardless of the roll result Not-a-1 : Hitting people on a D20 roll of anything but 1 Cheats i've caught my players using: Roll 'n say Roll 'n Snatch Knocking Number fudging : changing static numbers that they "forgot" to write on their sheet Spell swapping : Casting spells when that spell isn't memorised Bribery : Giving me food and/or money to better thier character Anti-bribery : Giving me food and/or Money to screw another character (my players are visious) Begging/whining : complaining or asking somthing repeatedly until I give them what they want to shut them up. None of these methods work all the time, and with my personal cheatery, I go both ways. I cheat up to slow game progression, and I cheat down to keep the game fun. Bribery and begging were jokes, I don't actually accept anything less than money as bribes. :p [/QUOTE]
