[QUOTE="Barak, post: 1430911, member: 3028"] Yeah good people can do bad stuff despite themselves sometimes. I was a "cheater" for a while once, I'll admit. It was in a pretty powerful campaign, and my character was relatively crappy compared to the others. Never able to freakin' do anything. So I started fudging my rolls once in a while.. And once you do, heck if it can't quickly become an habit, one that can even easily continue into other games where your characters aren't crappy! I finally realized all by myself that it was kinda stupid to cheat in a game played for fun, and that it wasn't really fulfilling to have a character who basically always succeeded when it counted (I wasn't stupid enough to cheat -all- the time, only when it "counted"). So I made it a point to roll in the open for a while, making it impossible for myself to cheat, and I cured myself. Of course now that I DM, I bet my players would -like- it if I fudged once in a while... But no, I still roll in the open. :) [/QUOTE]
