A Charisma (Intimidation) check is called for only when the outcome of the attempted action is uncertain. In the case of an NPC trying to intimidate a PC, the outcome of the attempted action is not uncertain because the player whatever the player does in response is the outcome. Thus there is no need for an "Intimidate check." So I can't be hiding one.Mechanics in an RPG cannot prevent you from trying things. It's not a board game. The DM/GM may say that you succeed or fail based on a mechanical consideration, but that is a different story. In your position, I would have tried to break that spell by resisting and let the GM tell me what happens. At the very least, I would have tried to determine if I was indeed under a spell rather than make what was later proven to be a bad assumption.Edit: To be clear, I don't condone how the GM handled that situation. But to say that what happened was due to a policy of "no questions" dismisses other options you had available to you to affect the outcome.</blockquote>
