[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6804416, member: 6701872"] I have to ask for clarification: In this instances of asking for a player to roll, then realizing you didn't want them to roll because they should just succeed, do you simply tell them their attempt was successful no matter what the resulting roll was, or are you telling them that you didn't actually want them to roll? Basically, are you doing A or B below? A) "Roll [blank]." (player rolls, announces result) "You succeed." B) "Roll [blank]." (player rolls, announces result) "Wait, disregard that I didn't actually want to ask for a roll, you just succeed." I have to ask because A is fudging and B isn't since fudging is by definition [I]secret[/I], and B is in fact exactly the kind of thing that I encourage DMs to do [I]instead of fudging.[/I] Specifically because players, in my experience, really appreciate it when their DM can say "Nope, I made a bad call - let's fix that."
