It literally reads in the rules that the GM could opt to do this. It may not be advertised, but that's not the same thing. And the reason for not advertising is not that players wouldn't like the GM doing it, it is that them knowing would spoil the illusion of danger, which often is the point of using the technique in the first place. Yes, it is a bit weird, but if the GM knows their players and suspects that they like having such an illusion, then doing this makes perfect sense. And this is still about running an elf game. Even running an elf game really, really badly, isn't "morally objectionable", at worst it might be "mildly annoying."I don't know why I'm arguing here, as I said I don't fudge,* but I still find a lot of the anti-fudger arguments really bizarre and the moralising rather distasteful.(* Not that I would ever promise that I wouldn't. As a GM I reserve the right to run the game in the manner I best see fit, and if this means in some exceptional case breaking my self-imposed rules, then so be it. And frankly, as player, it is not your business what happens behind the curtains, so stop worrying about it. Yes, that goes for the quantum ogres too!)</blockquote>
