[QUOTE="thecasualoblivion, post: 6863161, member: 59096"] Whether or not to trust a DM isn't the same issue as whether the DM should have that much power or how much power a DM should have. A lot of people feel that the DM taking a way an array of highly rolled stats to be power the DM shouldn't have. It really isn't about trust. Players shouldn't necessarily have that power either, as you could easily imagine a player who would cheer on having another player being asked by the DM to reroll god stats, but totally freak out if the DM asked them to do it. The big issue with this is that people talk about rolling random stats in threads like this, and I don't consider what you just described and rolling stats and than playing whatever the result is to be in any way related. Yet people talking in these threads seem to talk as if they are. These threads are also not just unclear about whether those two are the same thing, but whether fudging/cheating is ok or not. It's like the whole thing is just glossed over or taken for granted. Pretty much, but given this is rolling really worth all the hassle? Rolling dice for abilities being fun and rolling dice for abilities being fun as long as you're allowed to win isn't the same thing. [/QUOTE]
