[QUOTE="Acid_crash, post: 4037204, member: 16278"] There is one guy in the last group I played D&D in that I was beginning to suspect was cheating. The DM sat on the far corner of the table, and the table was a small table so it was hard to gather around to roll on the table, so he didn't mind people rolling on books that were on their laps. At first it wasn't much of a problem, but as the games progressed the more often my one friend would roll successes, and then his crits would increase. It got to the point where in one session before the game ended, in twenty plus rolls, he FAILED a roll two times, period. In that game session he had 13 crits that were all successful. The two times he failed I was watching. Now some of the crits were crits, but I suspected that not all were. This happened more than once, him rolling more crits than the rest of the five players combined. This is why I have players roll in front of me, where I can see the die and make a ruling before the die is picked up. I won't allow dice that I can't see the numbers from at least 3 feet away, and if I can't see the number the result doesn't happen. I also won't allow die rolling until I say roll. The two or three sessions he rolled on the table, he got two crits and failed over 50% of the time. [/QUOTE]
