[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7601610, member: 97077"] I'm not telling the player how his or her character thinks. As I've said several times, the player is welcome to have the character think and say the guard is his or her old friend. But the DM is under no obligation to make that true nor does the DM need to say that the character is delusional. A DM might narrate the result of the adventurer's action with "The guard doesn't respond to being called Frances and doesn't recognize you as a friend - what do you do?" Likewise if the DM describes a pile of copper pieces and the player has his or her character think and say it's gold, only to find out that the local merchants do not agree, is that the DM telling the player what his or her character thinks? No. No it is not. My position hasn't changed. I hope I clarified it for you though. Yes, it's very common in my experience for games to include a lot of questioning the DM by the players. That is greatly minimized in my games by comparison. [/QUOTE]
