If you want to miss so that the Ranger can shine it might be a good idea to slip the GM a note to that effect, but no, I would not boot a player for cheating in that manner. (Happy now Woodelf?) I might pull you aside after the game if I noticed it and ask that you hand me a note that you were doing so, simply so that I know what is going on. But in my experience most cheaters cheat in their own favor, and have seen players cheating to help others only once or twice. (I have only had two or three really bad cheaters over the years, including the one who quit the game when he got called on it. After a private warning first. He also cheats at wargames. I don't game with him any more.)The 'I have one healing potion left' cheat however is what I would consider a 'full' cheat, I am of the 'let the dice fall as they may, and the PCs also' school. As DM I even prefer to make my own die rolls out in the open. (My players have finally beaten it into my head that they want me to be able to cheat however...) But I also allow folks to stabilize their characters with Action Points/Good Karma and the like, so it is less likely to end with a dead PC. (And I never, ever, use Bad Karma to prevent the saving of a PCs life.)The Auld Grump</blockquote>
