[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 2383763, member: 18701"] I would take that as another way of [I]politely[/I] saying, "Even though you might not be cheating; you could easily cheat with those dice. Just to be safe, I'd rather not risk it, so can you use different dice?" It's about trust, and the DM doesn't trust him with those dice. That could be insulting to this guy. I'm not saying the DM is wrong for not trusting him. I might do the same thing if he always rolled well. But I would have investigated it more before confronting him. I pride myself on being honest. If I had a pair of "lucky" dice and the DM didn't trust me to use them, I could possibly feel insulted. It would be a slam to my pride and I would be wondering why this DM doesn't trust me as a player the way I trust him as a DM. I'm not a freak about what dice I use though; I'm just looking at this from another perspective. My players use tiny dice and hard to read dice. I trust them to be honest. I don't care to look at their rolls. I just want them to read them to me. Like I said, if I had suspicions of cheating, THEN I would start watching rolls & asking players to keep an eye out before I talked to the player. I've done this exact thing before and it turned out that she wasn't cheating; she just had a really good game that night. I'm pretty sure if I just questioned her or made subtle hints that I think she might be cheating (asking her to use different dice) then she probably would have gotten upset. [/QUOTE]
