[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5886709, member: 9037"] You understand that I think fudging a dice roll is fine now and then. But a lot of players don't like this. They want the dice to fall as they may because of the randomness this adds to the game. Let me put it this way we all agree to play using dice to resolve an issue did we hit how much damage did we do, did we make the skill check and find that trap. Now if the DM decides that the dice don't matter that you will fail the skill check no matter what or no matter what you roll it won't be a hit. Then a lot of players have an issue with that. It is why the advice giving to DMs is to try and avoid doing this often. Deciding what treasure to put in your game or what kind of weapon to give the kobold is not the same thing. It is really weird for me to be arguing from this side of the issue because I support rolling behind a screen and the occasional fudging of dice rolls. And have argued for it in many a thread. But I do understand why a lot of players don't like it. And I can see why if it is done a lot why that is an issue because at that point why are you even pretending that the dice matter. [/QUOTE]
