[QUOTE="vagabundo, post: 4459589, member: 55864"] I have a unrepentant cheater in my group, he is a good friend and generally contributes very constructively to the game. However he does change dice rolls if he can and his character sheet is in dire need of an Audit. First off: it does not bother me all that much or my players at all. He is like this in real life and you either love him for it or hate him – and he rubs quite a number of people up the wrong way. I’ve incorporated it into my game and make jokes about “Auditing his character sheets” and about the “roll and move technique from RPGcheaters.com”. I’ve caught him a number of times doing the “roll and move” and it is an auto failure and usually some other penalties I think up on the spot. Funnily enough, sometimes he would have hit or passed a skill check on the original roll. I’ve told him he has to declare his rolls and I watch him roll the dice. I don’t get into the swamp that is his character sheet too much, if it bothered me I would Audit it periodically. Saying that, it is part of my game now and it doesn’t take away from the enjoyment of the other players – it is like a game within the game. It sounds like you should take more direct measures as your other players do not like it. The key word here is direct. [/QUOTE]
