You should have written this a few days ago as my D&D night did not go the "fun" way I expected... :) (See my blog entry if curious) So true….This is Fudging I can back 100%.

The only downside is that I sometimes have to remind them they are not invincible. Fudging is great when it triggers classic D&D moments.

I remember a 3rd level monk who was fighting an evil cleric near a building in flames. He charged at the cleric and tumbled/tackled her. He rolled a 20 so I told him that he managed to tackle her at the waist and they were rolling on the ground.

Without hesitation, the monk said: “I try to position my legs between us and use our momentum to catapult the cleric in the burning house.”

Who am I to say no? I had him roll an escape artist check because the maneuver required extreme flexibility and the roll was successful.

The monk gained leverage and the cleric ended burning in the house, and later in hell.

I’m so happy when my players come up with stuff like that. The only downside is that I sometimes have to remind them they are not invincible.
