Message: <blockquote data-quote="Monayuris" data-source="post: 8598705" data-attributes="member: 6859536">The supposition was in the context of having strict and formal cases where a DM will fudge a result.The example given was monster crits and multi-attack, but there may be better examples.In my opinion, If one has a strict policy to always fudge the results of a rule when a certain outcome occurs, that’s a de facto house rule.If the DM is consistent with it, I wouldn’t call it fudging.I suppose it’s fine that the house rule does not need to be explained… just like players don’t and shouldn’t know what a monster can do. But for situations where there is deviation from the expected outcomes of the rules, I think it’s good etiquette to make changes to the rules known. Players make choices in the game (at the table and at character gen) based on their understanding of the rules.</blockquote>
