[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 6803420, member: 23751"] So what. The DM can also throw an ancient dragon against 1st level PCs. That a tool can be used incorrectly does not mean that the tool when used correctly is bad. Fudging is a tool that when used correctly is for the shared fun of the group. There's no way you will ever be able to tell what I rolled when I announce a hit, miss, crit or fumble. You'd have to be able to see the die roll for that. Yep. Sometimes the DM uses the wrong tool. Sometimes I give an orc encounter when the group might enjoy a goblin better. They still have fun. While I can't guarantee that it will be more fun, the tool is there so that they do have more fun and I can observe the increase in enjoyment. Namely, I see them get dejected when they have extreme bad luck and are getting their arses kicked, despite doing everything right. When thing even up a bit more due to fudging, their fun skyrockets. So far I've never been wrong, but I suppose I might be one day. I'll take the risk and continue to use the fudging tool for its purpose.............to increase enjoyment in the group. [/QUOTE]
