It’s a question often asked, so I thought I would poll folks here, do you hide your die rolls or not when you GM?
Personally, I think dice rolls should be hidden and that’s the way I play. There are a few reasons for this:
- Keeping results from the players - you don’t want them to know if they found that trap or not
- To save the characters - through no fault of their own the party might just need a break, a missed critical, a few less points of damage and they keep on going
- To help the characters - sometimes you want have that creature miss a save or skill check for the story or help the party out
Now, I’ll admit that all of those can be handled by a simple GM decision but I like to roll the die anyway as it helps with the paranoia at the table.
So do you hide your die rolls or not?
May your dice roll well.
