Can you defeat detect thoughts by having the correct thoughts, as is established to be a DC 40 bluff check?

Permalink

I can with some luck, or if we assume I'm wearing the magic items Paizo should have but didn't give me.

But what's your plan for detect evil

Permalink

My Knowledge (local) is +25. I don't think there are any paladins or inquisitors in the room.

It's a gamble we'll have to make.

Permalink

...Do I know why she is doing this?

Permalink

For Science.

Permalink

...?

Oh! 

Oh that is delightful

Good idea, Lyvina.

Permalink

...Actually, why "plan to check" what you can just check?

Detect evil.

Since when did Cressida Kroft have detect evil as a Spell-Like Ability?

That's sus AF, someone should check Kroft and see if she's a shapeshifter!

Melyia doesn't ping!

...Because she'll be wearing a Ring of Mind Shielding, right, as the city mandates someone with her privileged access to information do at all times on pain of heavy fines, unless they're cooperating with a criminal investigation (which should occur in a private room). 

It's really inconvenient that those things block alignment reading as well as detect thoughts!

So, Glorio.

What's your plan for detect evil, Glorio?

Glorio.

It's not a crime to be Evil. Can you just brazen it out?

Permalink

Maybe... and fiends have an alignment aura independent of their actual alignment - for instance, a good-aligned demon would have a Chaotic aura, Good aura, and Evil aura.

Lyvina imagines that I received this result, and decides to think of something which Olivia knows, but the GM doesn't know, and would have a noticeable effect on the trajectory of the campaign if the NPC reading her mind learned it.

Permalink

How do you know this?

Permalink

I read it in -

Permalink

The infinite diamonds trick doesn't count because the GM already knows it - and now so does whoever's reading her mind.

Lyvina thinks that the two of you have done enough science for today and would now like to stop.

Permalink

Oh jeez in retrospect it's probably a bad idea to give the GM full control over what she's thinking, yeah. 

Permalink

...Glorio?

Permalink

Are you quite alright?

Permalink

I choked on saliva. Just need to - just need to cough it out.

Permalink

ooc: what is your character thinking?

Permalink

Do you know if it's true of rakshasa?

Are rakshasa relevantly like demons here, or relevantly like tieflings?

Permalink

If you and I've no way of knowing, neither does anyone else.

...With four possible exceptions.

But maybe I can work with or around them?

That's a work in progress. 

Permalink

I have less than zero faith in what you think no one has any way of knowing, and less faith than that in what you think you can work around.
