[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 6869914, member: 23751"] That is not the truth. It is a baldfaced lie because due to your narrative, she fully believes that she knows the truth. She would have to give that answer. That it isn't a correct answer doesn't mean anything. The truth is what she believes it to be. No it's not. That part is in direct opposition to the mechanics which prevent that from happening. There was no protection. She failed. Correct. Since she doesn't have the answer to the riddle, she must by the mechanics produce the answer she believes is correct and tell that to the caster. How about instead you take a crash course in rules. If you want to house rule Zone of Truth to allow you to ignore the effect when your backstory is in opposition to it, then fine. Otherwise she is obligated to tell the truth as she knows it, which means that she produces an answer, incorrect or otherwise, to the riddle. [/QUOTE]
