Although, and while this may not technically be legal, I do offer my T-shirt reroll to the table, to either give someone who doesn't otherwise have a reroll, or to make "ME" reroll a result they don't like (like that crit with a Heavy Flail, or the crit on the charging spirited charge lance).
Why does the lance charge sound familiar....

My largest problem with GMs is that they can not take their feelings out of the game. Why should you want a reroll? You are judging the scenario. You are following the script as much as possible. If the script calls for a die roll to decide something then the die roll decides, not you. You lose nothing for poor dice rolls.

I lose the ability to lap up your tears of sorrow.

I wore my fancy VL shirt when I last ran Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment. I told the table the re-roll was theirs to use as they saw fit.
I was tempted to use it during my suck-all rolling when it got realz, but I didn't. Thus, no delicious tears of sorrow were mixed with the after scenario beverage.

You know..that's the best argument against GM rerolls I've heard yet.

Most of the time, I wait til something particularly nasty happens to a player and offer my shirt re-roll to them, but only if they dont otherwise have one.
I have, once or twice, used my reroll myself to try to improve the roll a bad guy makes. Legal, no. Useful when trying to describe the bad guy doing something particularly amusing or cool for the fight (Acrobatics or Climb mostly) and then roll a 1.
Do I do this in particularly tense moments or situations where this roll might make the difference in me killing the PCs or not? No, I do it so the PCs have a more enjoyablely difficult fight against a hopefully somewhat competent opponent, opposed to some goober who tried to do something cool and then fell on his face.
