-[[Feigned Die Rolls]] is a technique [[Game Masters]] can make use of while leading games, typically [[:Category:Tabletop Roleplaying Games|Tabletop Roleplaying Games]], and using [[Dice]]. As such games have difficulty in enforcing the pattern although their designs can make it easier for [[Game Masters]] to perform [[Feigned Die Rolls]] by making it more normal for players to have [[Imperfect Information]] about the die rolls they make. This can be done through having explicit rules for hidden rolls or providing ''game master screens'' which can make all rolls secret unless [[Game Masters]] make an effort to make open rolls.

-As Fine<ref name="fine"/> points out, [[Game Masters]] do not have to make [[Feigned Die Rolls]] themselves. They can do this by proxy through asking players to roll [[Dice]] but not explain why nor what effects their results have.
