[QUOTE="SirAntoine, post: 6581120, member: 6731904"] It's by far the best advice for a general audience. If you in particular feel like a different approach would be better for you, it may be. There is a limit to how far I can advise you. Your players might not all feel the same way about it, I would caution you, further. Even if you have a conversation which seems to indicate they all feel the same way, maybe some people just went along with the crowd and didn't express their feelings, or maybe they will change their mind someday. Are you going to change the way you feel about it yourself? Possibly. Whenever you choose to "fudge", for any reason, if you keep it secret you have the best chance, generally speaking, of keeping everyone happy in this regard. I would actually go as far as to say your players shouldn't even ask, as a matter of fact, but if they do, no is the best answer. You can read my earlier posts, and others' posts on this subject, to get an idea why players may not like the DM to fudge anything. Some players are very offended by it. They even go as far as to call it cheating. So if you are asked if you fudge, you might also want to know if they are asking if you cheat. If they are, maybe you shouldn't let them in your game.
