Assuming an impartial DM, the reason they'd deny your actions would be either consistency or to preserve their tolerable versimilitude. If a DM judges that the fighter's attempt is not possible and the wizard's make sense in context, then that's how it is. But the reason wasn't because the wizard had more options, it's just that the wizard player's attempted action made enough sense for the DM. It doesn't matter if you have a billion more options than another character if those options are shutdown just by natural context. If a DM had a rakshasa NPC disguised as a person, then no matter how clever the wizard tries to word it, the spell Charm Person has no effect. But that doesn't mean the wizard gets nothing. They might have more options, on average, but those options can either be punished or rewarded. Again, impartial DM.</blockquote>
