[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3391120, member: 22779"] Yes, it is resolved. The DM says, "You missed." That's a resolved action. The player then retcons the action by applying a Hero Point and hits. How is that difficult to understand. Once the DM has adjudicated the result of any action, that action is resolved. Anything which changes that adjudication AFTER THE FACT, is fudging in one form or other. You can get as snarky as you like, but, please don't put words in my mouth. I never said it wasn't a resource. However, finite resource or not is irrelavent. It doesn't matter that I can only change X results a day. I am still changing the results. No, retconning the results of an action is freeform. The only point I am talking about here is at the time when someone at the table changes the results of a die roll. When those results are known and then changed, that's fudging. I fail to understand why this is such a difficult concept. The problem I think here is that you are defining fudging as cheating. I don't. I define fudging as changing the results of an action after the results are known. For the third time now, I think its a good idea. I think that Hero Points are a good idea because it helps to save PC's from entirely arbitrary death. It reduces the threat facing PC's by allowing players to alter the results of die rolls after the fact. It's a mulligan. Great. But, to pretend that it's something other than that is disingenuous.
