I'm currently playing a D&D game with a group of friends. One person in particular has been having anomalously good rolls ALL THE TIME and has NEVER rolled a 1, ever.
Last session, I kept an eye on him and I saw him actively cheating. He'd arrange the dice he needed to roll so the numbers would be high, then roll some other random dice and read off the results from the first set. He did this several times. The problem is this guy IS a friend, even if he's cheating, and the amount of static it would cause to bring it up would be pretty epic. . I've consulted the GM and she's NOT happy. I'm looking for input and suggestions as to how to deal with a player who is cheating AND a friend. I want to bust him, but that will create A LOT of static within the group. |
