In my group for example, you can always take the number you rolled or worse (if for some reason you want to). More appropriately, the die you rolled had nothing to do with the result you got - most DM's allow you to voluntarily miss- therefore you keep calling this cheating, but by most people's definition and view it isn't.Now had you felt it was more appropriate for you to hit, you rolled a miss and, without discussing it with the group, you announce a hit - that's more in line with this discussion.Now this is a different situtation. A character is alive, but for your healing potion that you don't really have. Frankly, If I were the player of the character and I knew what you did, I wouldn't feel very good about it. Now if you told the DM "hey, I technically used my last healing potion, but this is a stupid death - why don't we have a minor fate intervention, I dig around my pack and find another potion." and the DM agrees, then it's dramatic license.On a different note:I think the big problem with this thread is that there are many degrees of cheating and the word "cheating" does not differentiate between them - people need to recognize that tollerance of the different degrees is going to vary - and not get quite so heated about it.</blockquote>
