      As a player, I hate the feeling that the DM is nerfing an encounter. As a DM, I hate the feeling that I’m steamrolling the players.

      I’m a complicated person.

        The DM trick that solves both problems is cheating but never getting caught.

        (You can tell that I’m the collaborative-storytelling sort of person. If the outcome of a dice roll would make everyone have less fun, why use that outcome?)
