Decide Whether to Fudge a Dice Roll as Game Master

A roll lands badly at a bad moment and the temptation to quietly adjust it is real. This weighs whether the outcome is genuinely bad for the story or just inconvenient, considers what discovery would cost in player trust, and gives a clear call plus an alternative that keeps the drama alive without secretly changing the result.

**Decide on fudging the roll:**
1. Work only from {SITUATION_DESCRIPTION} as given
2. Weigh whether the roll standing would create a genuinely bad outcome, such as an anticlimactic character death, or just an inconvenient one
3. Weigh the cost to player trust if fudging is later suspected or discovered
4. Give a clear decision, with one alternative that keeps the drama without secretly changing the result, such as adjusting the encounter around the outcome instead
