[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8476170, member: 7032025"] Whether a lie will be believable or not is what makes the decision uncertain. Not exactly, it's when the DM doesn't know whether the PC/NPC will accomplish something or not: "If the total equals or exceeds the DC, the ability check is a success--the creature overcomes the challenge at hand. Otherwise, it's a failure, which means the character or monster makes no progress toward the objective or makes progress combined with a setback determined by the DM." So, in the case of deception, will the PC/NPC overcome the difficulty of producing a convincing lie in the circumstances. [/QUOTE]
