| Sep 1, 2018 at 17:13 | comment | added | Stop Being Evil | @SeigSoloyvov Even with a Zone of Truth and a failed save, the victim is aware of the spell and can still choose to be cryptic and evasive with what answers they give, or just clam up entirely. The only thing they can’t do is directly lie. | |

| Aug 31, 2018 at 16:50 | comment | added | Tiggerous | It's not completely explicit but 'as a result I was forced to reply a specific way and reveal information I otherwise wouldn't have revealed' sounds pretty suggestive to me. OP can clarify if I've misunderstood. | |
| Aug 31, 2018 at 16:42 | comment | added | Andrzej Doyle | This is a good answer. It's also not clear to me from the question that the DM actually dictated a mandatory response; Seig Soloyvov may have just meant that all his options had to result in his deception failing (i.e. "forced to reveal the secret"). If the DM dictates the player's specific actions, that's bad. If the DM just says "your deception fails" and lets the player choose how they wish to play out that failure, that's fine. Being sometimes forced to play out a failure instead of the success you wanted, isn't a problem and is the foundation of the game (and rolling dice). | |
