[QUOTE="SavageRobby, post: 3759648, member: 51573"] I voted for [b]PCs die when they make stupid mistakes, and the DM never pulls punches[/b], but its really more [b]PCs die when they die, and the DM never pulls punches[/b]. I don't punish players for making mistakes or "bad" decisions (sometimes that provides the most fun roleplaying moments), but I also don't reward them for making the "right" decisions, either. Sometimes they might do everything wrong, and come out successful, sometimes they might do everything right, and someone bites it. So it goes. Edit: As for fudging, hard to fudge when the players are rolling most of the dice. I have players roll for their opponent's attacks and damage against them (and saves, and just about everything else). The only thing I roll in secret are rolls that should be secret, like Searches or off-camera activity. And man, nothing like watching a player rack up huge amounts of damage .... against their own PC! :eek: [/QUOTE]
