If a Rule called “RNG-Man” exists, add a subrule to it. Call it “Dictation” and give it the following text:
Whenever the RNG is required by the rules to make a DICE roll, the RNG may elect to specify a result. To do so, the RNG replaces the string “DICE” in the roll with the string “FIAT”, then appends the desired result to the end of the roll. The RNG may not choose any result that was not a possible result of the original roll.
As written, this doesn’t apply to rolls made by anyone besides the RNG.
I think it’s too early for this, as it severely limits what we allow the RNG to be able to do. This might end up allowing the (human) RNG to decide who does well and who fails, which is probably not fun.
Abstaining. I like the idea, but I am, like Hix, afraid that I might be biased. If this passes, I’ll try to only use this for rolls that affect the entire community.
since I just noticed that I can only do it to my own rolls.

Although, I think that that should be “must specify a result” as allowing a Random Number Generator to use a random number generator seems like cheating, somehow…
