But it'll be covert tension. People will be annoyed, feel guilty, etc. And it'll make the game stressful. Heck, the DM might feel bad about what happened there, too.So, especially if you're good friends with each other, put it on the table. Tell your DM that you felt treated unfairly last session, and that you acted in turn by cheating on hit points. Tell him you're sorry and feel bad, but don't hide the fact that you didn't have that much fun by the turn of events.Maybe the guy will agree. Maybe he's in so much stress that he'd like to play for a while, with someone else DM'ing. Maybe he's in so much stress that he won't listen to reason, and be angry – but if he's a friend, he'll get over it.You cheated. That's a break of trust. But from what you wrote, the DM didn't seem too trustworthy, either. And you'll have to speak up on both issues to improve the game. Or you can continue cheating, like I did when playing with a certain, really bad DM, who in turn thought everything was swell and I was bored to death.</blockquote>
