[QUOTE="WetWombat, post: 4456708, member: 20952"] Re: Nifft: *snicker* Obryn: How about this? Aside from previously suggested options of placing Ms. Cheaty McCheatypants nearby and/or observing her rolls like the proverbial hawk, and gently suggesting that her interperetation of the results should be reexamined should her declaration not agree with the hard facts, why not attempt positive reinforcement? To Wit: Karma Points Balance must be maintained. When the Fates frown on a character's actions, causing catastrophic failure, they are obligated to smile unconditionally at some later date. Mechanically, this simply means a failure (especially those with dire consequences, such as favorite items being lost or destroyed.), when accepted (no cheating!), generates a point that can be used in another encounter, to turn a similarly failed attempt into a success instead. (Similar to action points, only this is a mechanic to allow a single unconditional success.) Sure, this would involve bookkeeping, but the rewards in terms of reduction of cheating might, hopefully, make it worthwhile. JUST a thought from The Wombat(wet). [/QUOTE]
