[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 6629877, member: 57914"] Have the player always roll the die right in front of you. I know its hard to believe but some players do roll well from time to time AND cheat. It took a house rule, No Dice roll that I can't see counts. He rolls a Nat 20 where you can't see? Doesn't count. BE STEADFAST in your rule. If this is a long time issue (more than one hot night of rolling) then the player IS CHEATING. Now they might be doing it in conjunction with really rolling well but the player is still cheating. It will be amazing that once your new rule is in place, the players roll will even out. Now there is one exception to this issue. Weighted Dice are a thing. I have a twenty sider that only rolls 20 or 1 or 7. No clue why but 90% of the time it will be one of those numbers. I don't use the die now, it's just in my arsenal of messed up dice. Really though, your player is cheating. I have seen it time and time again. In EVERY case after a while of rolling in front of everyone suddenly this magic awesome luck goes away and the law of averages gains ground. [/QUOTE]
