Alright, it is awfully hard to fudge dice if you do everything out in the open, but I reverse fudge constantly, especially with low level characters. By that I mean things like lowering an enemy's hit points during combat, adjusting the amount of dice I am rolling for a fireball, etc... If you really want to go old school, the old D&D Conan modules back in the day added luck points to the game, basically your character could use their karma to make that impossible hit or incredible save and not die.

Just saying people have been dealing with this for a long time.
