[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 6869908"] Right. So she says, "I do not know the answer" and that is the "truth" because her character, the one written on the character sheet that has ability scores and proficiencies and the like, never solved the riddle in the first place. The player at the table describes this as, "I solved the riddle AND my patron protected me from the ZoT spell." That part is just fluff, divorced from the mechanics. There is no combination of events or spells or whatever that can cause Eloelle's character to actually produce the answer to the riddle (unless the DM intervenes) because to do so would be to have the fluff change the mechanics. I will patiently keep explaining this every way I can, from every direction I can, with any analogy that I can. But this would go a lot faster if you could go quickly take a college level course in symbolic logic and then get back to me. It doesn't have to be an advanced course; introductory material would work just fine. I'll be here waiting. [/QUOTE]
