You get the idea.  That is the stick.The carrot is this - if the player announces a low roll or his dice rolls are in the statistically normal range, you treat the character like any other.In time, if he is halfways switched on, he is going to put it together.  If he cheats, 'bad things' always happen to his character.  If he doesn't cheat, his character is like any other.  Then he will realize that cheating is availing him nothing but unwelcomed attention in the form of extra monsters, extra hits, and extra damage.  That alone should modify his behavior.Of course, he will likely complain during this process.  If he does, offer that he can observe your dice rolls verses his character but only if he allows you to observe his rolls.  I have done this with several people over the years and it works well for me.  Always the caveat - YMMV.</blockquote>
