minus-squaresouthsamurai@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoNah, fudging is slightly different. Fudging is saying “the roll was 19” when it was actually 18, and 18 was a fail. That’s a form of lie. Straight up saying that the roll is being ignored totally, or that the person should roll again isn’t fudging because it’s open and honest.
minus-squareSotuanduso@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·6 months agoI think the difference is being transparent about it. This is saying “I know that shouldn’t hit, but I’m saying it hits anyways.” Traditional fudging is “That… hits, yeah, totally.”
