[QUOTE="Negflar2099, post: 4440208, member: 65944"] Since 4e came out I've made a conscious decision to not cheat as much. I used to cheat in 3e all the time, either to keep the players alive or to keep my enemies from dying in one round (no dig on 3e, it just happens.) Not cheating is hard. Two players died and I've had a few monsters go down quicker than I wanted (and some didn't get to use their cool special abilities :.-( ) but I've managed to stick to it. I'm happy to say that since 4e I had to cheat only a few times to keep a total TPK from happening (and that was because I didn't scale for fewer characters like I should have). Very cool. What is everyone else's experience? If you DM how often do you fudge rolls or change monster abilities behind the screen? [/QUOTE]
