No. That's what YOU are insisting we talk about. No one else is talking about this.We aren't talking about things that are very much in character. We're discussing things that if done, are entirely out of character.
I presume that this is something that has been established in the game? The DM is aware that your character will never lie? So why would the DM, knowing this, allow a persuasion check to counter this? We absolutely know that this character will not lie. So, how is this any different from an NPC? Why would there be any chance of success for this check?If I have a character whose truthfulness is one of the core aspects of his being, and an NPC forces him to lie with a simple persuasion check, that character is done. He doesn't ever lie, yet here he did it because of social mind control forcing him to act against his very being.
You have stated repeatedly that you have NPC's that you know things well enough about to disallow certain persuasion/social checks. Totally fair. I have no quibble with that. So, again, why would you apply completely different rules for a PC?
