[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8751564, member: 6801845"] Trust but verify? I set up a DDB account in part so that my player had to use a system. It's not that I don't trust the vast majority of players, but people make mistakes. I know I have. The people that outright cheat have been very rare, and I simply don't put up with it. I've DMed for hundreds of players over the years and only 2 people come to mind as obviously cheating. There was a 3rd that used transparent dice with all the ink worn off, so he'd have to hold up his dice and squint at it to get a number; no clue if he was cheating or not. But you can't always tell. I knew one guy who was just amazingly lucky. Didn't matter if he was using his own dice or someone handed them a random set, he would just roll high more often than statistically likely. He was probably the universe's way of balancing average dice rolls to counter Will Wheaton. :unsure: [/QUOTE]
