[QUOTE="Torx, post: 556466, member: 2730"] I once had a player who rolled extremely well all the time. It didn't matter whether he needed a 2 or a 20 - the 20's would come no matter what he tried. It turns out he was fudging rolls every now and again, but only when it didn't matter. That's the great part! When his 12th level barbarian needed to simply avoid rolling a 1 to hit some low level creature, the player would roll a 4 on the die and announce an 18 or some other high, non-crit threatening number. Whenever I called him on it, he would admit to it, even if it did cause him to miss or fail skill/save. In fact, at one point I made him sit right next to me for a good month's worth of sessions. Every single die roll I had to see for it to count. (this was all in good fun) I recorded the results, and he rolled 16-20 75% of the time (I think it was actually 74%). He was really that good - the cheating was just the icing on the cake for him. :D [/QUOTE]
