Now I Caught A Player Cheating Today....

[VoidDragon]

Maybe he rolled a 6, and is easily confused?

<.<

I did that once. Believe me, the laughing is enough...

 

[Odhanan]

Perhaps, he should apply for sainthood. Not every common man manages to roll a nine on a d8 .

I'm still trying to send my application forms, myself, but each time the guys send them back to me!

I know that it doesn't work this way, but the opportunity was too good to let it pass .

Was it in Pratchetts book where a guy rolls a seven on d6? Flips the dice in the air, cuts it in half with a sword, and the two parts land showing a '1' and '6'?

Theoretically possible, at least with a KATANA! Never play dice with Ninja ..

(It wasn't a Ninja in the book, but Ninjas are awesome)

 

[airwalkrr]

Me: Roll for damage
Player: I got a uh nine.
Me: But you rolled a d8.
Player: Oh, right....

continued...

Me: The penalty...
Player:
Me: 2 permanent points of Constitution as the gods of fate strike you down for trying to cheat them!
Player:

Yes. Cohen the Barbarian.

Personally, what I think was awesome was what Cohen and his Silver Horde (five other geriatric barbarians) did to a bunch of ninjas in "Interesting Times." Now that was awesome!

That's an old trick. A duke supposedly won a castle, Ragnhildsholme, nearby in the 13th. c. that way.

He and his brother were discussing who'd inherit what, and decided to roll a dice to see who got the castle. His brother first rolled a six, and then when he rolled the die split and showed a six and a one. They decided that god had intervened, and so he got the castle.
(It's probably not even remotely true, but as a good story it still gets told.)

If any of my players are cheating, he's got to be the worst I've ever seen. THe entire group has such bad luck with dice that a combat between four 3d level characters and a gibbering mouther took 14 rounds.

We had a guy we gamed with for a while, everyone in the group knew he cheated. He used the miniture crystaline dice (smallest he could get) and would always roll on a seperate "table" (usually the surface of a book to the side).

We once were helping him roll up a new character and we would roll a d20 as a quick gen to create a character...he rolled the d20 (we let him borrow a normal sized one) with his finger on the 20 and rolled it around on the table.

"I got a 20!" (18-20s were all recorded as 18s). We all laughed at him.

We always let him go...it was more of a "karma" ideaology where the DM would punish the character during role playing (the character was wanted with huge reward, failed bluffs, etc).

As for the DM rolling...one of our DMs would regularly roll a handful of random dice behind the screen and have things go his way (usually for get aways, etc). Its to help with storyline, smart way of handling the situation if you needed to get the characters back on track.

I played with a player who kept missing every attack. Nobody was paying close attention to why he was missing. It turned out he'd been rolling a d10. I'm not sure who was dumber - he for rolling a d10 for attacks, or the four of us for not even noticing.
