The situation you describe is a lot like that. If the DM doesn't tell you which resolution mechanic they are using, then any choice you make is meaningless, because you lack the necessary information to make a meaningful decision. Any DM who would engage in such chicanery is inherently untrustworthy. The whole reason for playing a game with codified rules in the first place, is so that everyone can be on the same page about how the world works, so the players can make meaningful decisions.</blockquote>
