[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 6808610, member: 6778044"] I suppose I should elaborate on this. Your objection is that a player has specifically indicated that they don't like the DM fudging. If the DM fudges anyway, without telling them that they will potentially fudge, that is a problem. Here's how it would go at my table. If the majority of players don't like DM's who fudge. I wouldn't. If it's a single player, I would let the table know that I might fudge, but I won't fudge any rolls involving only that player. I would still hide an individual situation where I fudged, because that's the most effective use of the tool, as well as the prescribed use of the tool. That is not bad, and it's within the rules. I would not hide the fact that I might fudge. I would probably still use behind the screen rolls for some things. If a player objects to that, it's a different issue. Hiding the fact that you might fudge is bad. Hiding the times that you actually do fudge is not. However, I provide, ahead of time, a booklet with my house rules, campaign backgrounds, etc. So I will add a notation that I might fudge, and that's the general way I work. Most likely, those that object just won't join my groups. Ilbranteloth [/QUOTE]
