[QUOTE="Darklone, post: 3585899, member: 1372"] I don't cheat. I do have two players who think I cheated once or twice...but those two players have been shown the door by the rest of the respective groups. [ramble]One player simply didn't want to believe that his "tactic" (to run blindly away) was stupid in addition to bad luck (ran into 4 orcs and caught a confirmed greataxe critical rolled openly). Afterwards I showed the fights setup to him in the book... a week later I heard how he told someone I would have placed the orcs there to screw his ingenious tactic. The week later the other players showed him the door. The second player... was simply stupid. He didn't understand that the whole group was sick of saving his butt all the time even after they told him for several weeks. Two weeks later they still tried to save him but failed (half-orc barbarian charged with less than 10 hp alone after the retreating BBEG and his two unhurt fighter bodyguards...). Then he complained to the other players about how the bad DM wanted to kill off his super PC. [/ramble] I don't like that houserule cause any normal player does not need it in my group. I roll openly. And if I do something wrong and they ask about it, no problem (it's seldom enough, I'm the groups rulemonkey). If they have questions about the adventure or why they failed so horribly ... I show them the adventure and explain the tactical setup. So the only players who would use/enforce/like such a houserule are the "doorusers". [/QUOTE]
