[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8487627, member: 84112"] I would compair both to rolling a 3 and saying "nat 20" well half of that has been true for 2 years for me... on roll20 we don't see the sheets but we do see the rolls. before that though (actually back in 2e and 3e mostly) I also played with a big group in my buddies basement. we all sate in comfy chairs but spread out, it was rare to see the sheets or rolls.... so not hard for me to imagine. yup... would not have lasted long when we did keep secrets, too hard to maintain the lie...now that we are all open it would go better as we all came up with excuses for it... but ut stilll isn't something i would want to do more then once in a blue moon. could be... but it reminds me of the "I wont use the light saber so it is just a fancy tube on my waist" issue we had back in 3.5 where a player in a multiverse game came in as a jedi... got the DM to rule (based on d20 starwars) that lightsaber crits did con damage but promised not to use it... then game 3 or 4 started using it... I see the infinity more likely end to this story is the player asking "just this once can I get the bonus that I RP I have to keep the game consistent" and then THAT leading to hard feelings at the table or more and more "Just this once" [/QUOTE]
