[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 6868013, member: 58197"] My eyebrows go up too, but in the end I don't really care. You blew your Int check. As DM, I'm not giving you, the player, the information you were seeking. You can announce to the table that your PC really does know and is just pretending not to. I take no position on the truth or falsehood of this statement; I will continue to run the world and make rulings as if your PC does not know, but you are free to justify the resulting events any way you like. The other players can buy into the story you're creating, or they can treat your PC as a loon with delusions of competence. (That is my default position. If your justifications are sufficiently entertaining for everyone, or suggest cool things to add to the story, I may start playing up to them. However, as any of my players can tell you, that isn't going to give you an advantage over the other PCs - it just means I have more ways to mess with you.:devil:) [/QUOTE]
