[QUOTE="Inconsequenti-AL, post: 1399806, member: 6584"] Well, what do you do? Aside from tarring, feathering and running them out of town? I'm about to start running a new campaign and one of my players cheats. A lot. Pretty much makes up the number on any dice they roll. They roll under tables, they get scooped up within nanoseconds of being rolled, and so on. But they always seem to come up with high enough numbers. Aside from this, he's a really good player. Thinks up interesting character backgrounds, interacts well with NPCs, blah. He didn't always do this. In fact, it started when a particular DM we used to play with, arbitarily decided to kill off a character he'd spent years playing - he fudged the dice to avoid it. Problem is, he's never quite been able to stop it since. It was like some switch got set to 'cheat mode'. :confused: Worse still, our whole group are good friends outside of the game, known each other for years.
