  • The only time I experienced meta gaming that was shitty was when, due to everyone else asking me to, I played my evil cleric character. The one guy who absolutely loves my character more than even I do made a paladin and spent the entire campaign trying to prove my character was evil.

    He didn't succeed, which made it hilarious, but it was still kinda annoying that every time I did anything I had to beat his fucking sense motive checks, and he would often try to claim he snuck around to watch me recast my daily rituals (because I basically kept Undetectable Alignment on 24/7) to try and glipse my aura.

  • I had such player at my table but it was more that they could ignore what they knew. So they still were doing perception checks and I was still responding but randomly, without saying it.

    Once, for a critical failure on a perception check, I said they saw the lord was too bright, too clean, and wait are those scales? Could be a dragonborn or even more? They spend the full enquiry rejecting the possibility to have a dragon in disguise. Sad for them.

  • If you're going to be so openly hostile to a player just kick them because you're burning bridges to any hope of having a friendly table atmosphere again.

  • I do get the meme, but I can't really think of a way to hide specifically the result of a failed wisdom save from a player.

    Like how would you tell a player sometime like "You feel like Alric is a wonderful person despite the corpse he is looming over" without it being very obviously a failed save against charm person? Same for basically any other enchantment.

    Other spells with wisdom save are even more obvious by virtue of taking damage, or being turned into a cow.

    Detect thoughts and dream are the only two I could find where rolling in secret works for wisdom saves.
