[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8481235, member: 6915329"] Orrrr you just realized that you're telling me what my character thinks and are now trying to backtrack. I'm not obfuscating at all. You are trying to tell me that my character thinks that fidgeting or stammering indicates a liar. Oh, and if you point out the outline of a secret door, you're saying "Hey, there's a thing here to investigate." If you point out a stutter, you're doing the exact same thing. And many people don't. Google [I]that [/I]if you don't believe me. But go on and try to claim it's only because I'm "outraged" and thus try to pin the blame on me. It's pixel-hunting, because you're expecting the players to pick up on a tell--which in this case seems to be "this NPC is important, so investigate them." Ah, so now we're [I]all [/I]at your mercy here. Or could I just say "hey, I want to roll Insight on this guy and see if he's lying" and you'd let me? [/QUOTE]
