[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9597606, member: 6801845"] I don't fudge dice but sometimes I will take it easy on tactics and, based on the group, I adjust on a regular basis. Occasionally I won't use some of the more damaging/recharge abilities if the players are just having a really bad day. Every once in a while I'll point out terrain features they could take advantage of or some weakness I thought was obvious. But that's about as far as I'll go. I know a bad string of bad dice rolls suck but I don't want the DM putting their thumb on the scale to let us win, it feels like it cheapens the victory. I mean hopefully the DM let's us know there's a tarrasque around the corner before our first level party charges in, but if we [I]did[/I] charge in anyway we deserve what we get. It can be a tough balance though, and the most important thing is you're all there to have fun at the game table. Even if it means you may need to talk to the group to discuss what's been happening and how they feel about it. [/QUOTE]
