There are several threads with detailed discussions regarding fudging rolls that you can search for if you want to know the various techniques and their pro's and con's for fudging rolls. Basically, FG can't flawlessly accommodate fudging, not because of technology/capability, but because if you are using the automation, then in order to fudge a roll, you have to interrupt the workflow, and as soon as you do that, the delay becomes obvious to the players.
In the next beta of v3.2.2, I'm removing the [MANUAL ROLL] text from GM manual rolls to help with this scenario a little.

Players see the die roll. It's a "1".
"Uh oh."
I do not understand this "pulling punches." :)Quote:

I have an extension that will allow you to input the number you want the player to roll before they roll it. It doesn't change the number on the 3D dice, it changes the text number that comes up. I have my players black out their dice so they still get the feel of rolling dice but they can't tell the number on the dice doesn't match the text number. The text number overrides everything too. So I want their next roll to be a 20 but it comes up a 2 on the die...the 20 overrides the 2.
