[QUOTE="Nightchilde-2, post: 1734985, member: 4109"] Cheating. Ah yes. Players Not only can this unbalance the game in favor of the cheating player, ruin the fun of the player, GM and/or other players and everything else that's been stated here, but if the cheater is found out and the GM does nothing about it, it can lead to severe problems within the group. It's not fair to every single other player in the group (including the GM). Cheating for players is a no-no. It's hard for people to cheat in my games, though. We play via OpenRPG or IRC and dice rolls are made right there on the screen. GMs GMs fudging rolls...well...that's a bit different. If the GM is fudging rolls just to protect his pet NPC or out of spite for the party, that's not right. If the GM is fudging rolls to help the story or keep the PCs out of too much trouble, I see no issue with that. It actually [b]helps[/b] the players out in that case. That is the difference.
