That is to Fudge.So I pose to my fellow EnWorlders:To Fudge or not to Fudge, that is the question...How often have you Fudged a roll as a player to "save the day" with a little white lie, as a DM to "hold back" from TPK'ing the party or any number of other scenarios?I'll post in this poll multiple choices so that if you are both a Player and a DM, you can answer and feel free to explain if you want to why you fudged or why you don't do it.So to answer my own question:As a Player I hate it when other players fudge their rolls and don't do it myself, the hit or miss and the roll of the dice makes it more "on the edge of your seat" to me.As a DM I do fudge, but rarely. I only do so in the most dire of circumstances to keep a campaign going if I see a TPK being imminent, the players love their PCs, the campaign has been going on a long time, and I don't feel like starting a new campaign with new characters taking the time to have them roll up new PCs. This all goes through my head if I think about the fudging of rolls to "hold a punch" that would possibly end a campaign.</blockquote>
