[QUOTE="Azalnubizar, post: 2947357, member: 17511"] we do have a player in our sunday-group that cheats regularily as well... things like using potions he allready used, having still spell-slots allthough he kept casting until the beginning of combat, having HP that no one could every achieve at his level, having attack-values or AC values above everyone else until you go down and recalculate them... He keeps blaming most of the more obvious mistakes (like miscalculated AC or attack) on his program he creates and manages his characters with (I think he uses Redblade, allthough I don't think that the problem was the program). He keeps on doing it, even if you caught him, and everyone knows he is cheating. He also does things in RP no-one else would even think about and gets killed every so-often... therefore he isn't really unbalancing... it's just kind of weird. the guy is difficult to game with anyway - but we cannot bring ourselves to kick him, since the group has been together for several years now and we would feel bad about it, somehow... About giving in-games penalties... mmmh... ...this can be difficult. If you don't say anything he might think it's ok and continue. On the other hand, if you start handing out IGM-Penalties he might think that this is unfair and try to compensate with cheating or he might think it's ok if you aren't caught. Best IMO would be to speak with him "out-of-game"... but as you can see in my group sometimes this doesn't help as well... so no real advice, but I'd be carefull bevor you start giving IGM-penalties...
