I am fine with player's fudging, and/or cheating, however you want to call it. And the reason is no different than in the other threads... the D&D board game at my table is not that big a thing that we need to keep it holy and sacred. It is merely just another tool we use to create drama and story, just like everything else in the game.
If I have a table of like eight players and it takes a good chunk of time to make its way around to a player and that player has missed their attack three times in a row thus far... were that player to tell me on the fourth time around that they hit when they actually didn't... I wouldn't question them, I wouldn't ask to see the roll, I wouldn't even take the time to consider the idea that they lied to me. I would not care. In fact, if they were feel pretty down and demoralized for the hour they've been sitting there in a combat essentially doing nothing except make a couple of sucky die rolls that entire time... if that player then fudged a roll just to get themselves into the game finally? Good for them! I'm glad they could feel better about participating in the game that night, because their becoming happier in playing makes the rest of the game more enjoyable for everyone.
