Do whatever you want but the Dungeon Master's guide encourages DM's to (sparingly) fudge rolls to avoid your players getting screwed over by bad luck. It's not against the rules at all.

Source: DnD 5e DMG page 235 and 237

Funny, my Hackmaster book p. 113 says fudging dice is cheating. But you are free to roll dice with the devil.

That's a player guide lol. Only the DM should fudge.

Isn't HackMaster very explicitly written to be funny? I'm avoiding the term 'satire' because HM 5th Edition is not really satire (HmB page 2)
