[QUOTE="dead, post: 1734386, member: 18707"] I have a player who occasionally fudges a dice roll. I've caught him in the act on occasion and have scolded him for it. Anyway, I still suspect he continues to fudge the occasional die roll in his PC's favour. Nevertheless, I've just been thinking about this . . . is he *really* cheating? I mean, if he chooses to fudge die rolls on the sly, isn't that his perogitive? Isn't he the one who's responsible if the act of fudging die rolls ruins his gaming experience (it obviously isn't coz he continues to do it!)? Is the player being "unfair" to the game? I mean, the game us DMs run is *for the players* and if fudging die rolls on the sly is his way of better enjoying the game should I continue to come down hard on him? You see, I was thinking of taking off XP next time I caught him in the act but I thought that might just emphasise a *DM versus Player* mentality (ie. the old *DM is your enemy* [munchkin] mentality). What are your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
