: Encouraging players to use official character sheet buttons rather than custom macros makes it easier to verify that standard modifiers are being used.
Several community-developed projects on platforms like GitHub demonstrate these vulnerabilities for educational or illustrative purposes:
: Monitoring the chat archive for unusual patterns—such as long delays before rolls or a total lack of "average" results—can help identify users employing packet filtering software.
: The primary technical method involves hijacking the window.WebSocket.prototype.send function. By using tools like Tampermonkey or Charles Proxy , users can intercept outgoing data packets.
: While primarily used for automation, some scripts are designed to track and average player rolls to identify statistically improbable "hot streaks" that might indicate cheating. Detection and Mitigation for GMs
: A non-technical "cheat" involves temporarily inflating ability scores or modifiers on a character sheet before rolling, then quickly reverting them before the Game Master (GM) notices. Known Tools and Scripts
: GMs should hover their mouse over any suspicious roll in the chat window. This reveals the formula breakdown , showing the actual raw die roll and every modifier applied.
