It's entirely possible to use fudging as an improvisational tool, and for those who define on-the-fly revision of the DM's notes as fudging, fudging and improvisation are inherently linked.As an example of the former, consider that rolling dice that you have no intention of using can buy a few seconds to make an on-the-fly decision. As an example of the latter, throwing out the planned identity of a conspirator in favor of an on-the-spot inspiration that the DM thinks is more exciting and better fits the presented evidence is an act of improvisation (and requires good improv skills to pull off smoothly), yet also qualifies as fudging under the broader definitions of the term.Yes. Especially if the DM is good at making it seemless and unnoticeable, and has good instincts for how to use fudging to make the game more enjoyable.</blockquote>
