[QUOTE="Gronin, post: 5700173, member: 7603"] Hi ..... my name is Bill and I am a die fudger. (that sounds much worse than it is) As a player I do not fudge. Never have and never will. As a DM I do fudge. As a DM I use a screen -- always and I have never playedin a campaign where the DM didn't. Occassionaly it is because I put together an encounter that was tougher than I had anticipated. Occassionaly it is because the entire party has gone super cold on the dice at the same time. I have no problem with a TPK if they are morons but just flat out unlucky isn't fun for anyone. They won't get a win and there will be consequences but not a TPK. Occassionally (and this is very, very rare) I will fudge because my dice have gone cold and in my opinion a complete wipe in either direction is not a lot of fun. All that being said and I am not trying to sidetrack things here or start any kind of edition war but I have found less need since I switched to 4th. Now as far as players fudging in my campaign -- it happens, I know it happens and I don't care. It is not my job to police the die throws of others. These people are first and foremost my friends and it is my job to make sure the players have fun and have fun while doing it. If it takes a few moments of "creative math" in order for someone to have fun then so be it. As long as they aren't "rolling" nothing but Nat 20s it is just not going to make that much of a difference. [/QUOTE]
