Why would you not just have a quiet word with the DM if the DM is making you do something you absolutely couldn't see your character... -

Again, you never allow players to persuade an NPC to do something they would never do, so, why are you allowing an NPC to do it? If the...

Seems to me this has circled back around to the example from (was it this thread or another?) regarding a teetotal character being...

Again though, let's not get too far into the weeds. We're not talking about "ways". We're talking about a single way. Same as a social...

That's my point though; you've already accepted that in that situation a roll may make your character behave in a way you think is...

But you get that's a personal taste thing, right? I can probably say without too much loss of generality there's a lot of people out...
