[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 6876515, member: 23751"] If his concept is for his PC to be omniscient and know the answers to life, the universe, and everything, then he needs DM buy-in to alter mechanics to fit the concept. Without those alterations, the concept will fail and/or be a huge disruption to the game as the player tries to do things that run contrary to the game mechanics as the Zone of Truth issue shows. Essentially, the DM will have to give Eloelle the real answer so she can meet the Zone of Truth requirements, or else he will have to allow her concept to supersede mechanics via house rule. That's what happens when you make a concept that requires house rules to implement properly. It's a disruptive concept, unless the entity lies to her and the lies represent the failed int checks. Yes. I get that a house rule is necessary. She has to be able to succeed at failed saves and lie. [/QUOTE]
