[QUOTE="radmod, post: 5266348, member: 93008"] Also remember: The DM is GOD. Her final decision is that - final. However, try to be a fair god. I will warn you that the players might try to test you by seeing how far you will go. Don't be afraid to screw them but don't go out of your way to do it. As in the above water example, let them drown. They made their bed, let them lie in it. That'll earn you respect. As also somewhat mentioned above, don't be afraid to fudge the dice for both good and bad. A character casts an awesome spell that you didn't think of and which will end the combat in one round? Well, that save of a '1' sure looked like a '20' to me. Likewise, on a insignificant encounter, you just crit-ed three times in a row on the same guy and rolled another? Hmm, are you sure that '19' wasn't a '9'? As a game mechanic note, if you find that there's way too much BSing going on and slowing down the game, consider using a codeword anyone can call out (such as "Push!") which will help to put focus back on the game. Good luck and best wishes. You'll do fine. [/QUOTE]
