[QUOTE="Ginnel, post: 4454009, member: 66058"] With Gaming when you agree to play D&D you've agreed to play a game which has a random factor involved in it (unless the DM says otherwise) your levels your skills your attacks are all about taking that randomness away and making it go towards a result you want it to. If you allow cheating you might as well go well do you want 5 extra levels and a bag full of magic items? because by saying someone can cheat you are effectively doing this, rerolls extra pluses on rolls are some heavy weight rewards in the game and the cheater is getting this for free. I'm going to doubt that you would allow a player to have those 5 extra levels and a bag full of magic items just to make him/her happy. I will state for a fact that all people don't cheat, people who do cheat however like to convince themselves that everyone does because then it becomes acceptable as "everyone" is doing it. Off topic rant: In all honesty I think cheating is a major issue I'm having to pay more taxes because people cheat the benefit system a classic example was a single mother at my work had a job on the side which she didn't declare so she could still get benefits then she went on and on about how she was going on holiday abroad somewhere on this £1000 holiday, me being in a certain amount of debt and not having gone on holiday in god knows how long found this to be a little grating, who knows if I'll actually have the guts to report the next person who steals from the state (and therefore myself) like this.
