'NAH'?So your position is that DM's don't have a responsibility to be fair and consistent? Who would want to play with a cheat?Page 5 of the 5e PHB, in the introduction, it says that "One player, however, takes on the role of the Dungeon Master". The DM is also playing D&D. Part of the role is to be the referee.Referees are expected to judge whatever game they are refereeing in a consistent and fair manner, and in most sports would be struck off for doing otherwise. This is why bad DMs lose players.To be 'out', does some of the ball need to be over the line, or does all of the ball need to be over the line? If it is not already in the rules, the referee can say 'some' or 'all', and apply that interpretation consistently. But if he says 'all' for his mate and 'some' for the opponent, then the referee is cheating and will lose his job.And so he should, because such cheating is low-down, dirty, despicable, detestable, execrable, and in all other ways vile, and he shouldn't be given the responsibility of referee.</blockquote>
