[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8601807, member: 16814"] Sigh. What die was rolled and then the outcome changed to one not on the die? This is recommending that slavish adherence to rolling on tables is not recommended. It's telling the GM that the tables are tools, and should be used when warranted. It doesn't say "roll dice, if you don't like them, just say they rolled something else." It's not a matter of changing outcomes but rather one of reminding you that these kinds of rules are there for the GM's discretion to use, and are not required. You don't have to roll random encounters if you don't want to, but if you do, this snippet doesn't tell you to pick the encounter you want after rolling one you didn't and to keep all of this secret from the players.
