[QUOTE="Ghostknight, post: 1734846, member: 15338"] I read a lot of posts in this thread and cringe. Players need to be honest so the game is the same for everyone. In table top games I last played a character about 15 years ago, I am always DM/GM (depending on system :) ) To me, the die are just a prop, I will use them for what I deem appropriate but freely ignore them if I feel that is what is needed for the players to enjoy the game (arbitarily killing off players just because the dice says so is pointless and hardly fun for anyone!) On the other hand I expect the players to trust that what I have got planned, to play their characters and be honest. From fudging dice rolls to what next? Casting a spell an extra time ("Oops, forgot I had already cast that.") or spending more money than they have etc. None of it is allowed and I will cry foul if players try. An xp penalty for the offending player is fair (he lowered the CR of the encounter for himself, but not for others), just be very sure when you do it, if not you may find yourself with a player that is actually trying to be honest and now is pissed off.
