@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford By RAW, in a Social Iteration will a NPC be able to make a Charisma Check to affect a PC behavior or emotions?

NPC ability checks can't force a PC to think/feel something, but they can affect how the DM describes the NPC. #DnD https://t.co/uSbOljwILB

@JeremyECrawford But an NPC Ability Check can force The PC to act in some way?

I'll state it another way: an NPC ability check can't force a PC to think/feel/do/sense something #DnD https://t.co/Gcy8D6o7us

@Cybren @WolfHunter83PC on PC ability checks shouldn’t do that either; that’s what roleplaying is Bingo

@MtS_Designer @Cybren @WolfHunter83 Nope

@JeremyECrawford Can a NPC force a PC to fart?
That seems to be the next question.

Farting—that's another matter. An NPC can feed a PC a steaming plate of beans … #DnD https://t.co/aMJyfZv3d9

@JeremyECrawford @Cybren @WolfHunter83 Just to be clear: A PC can't ask for a Insight check against another PC's lie right? Only against NPC

You can ask for a Wisdom (Insight) check against anyone. The DM describes what you sense based on the result. #DnD https://t.co/wVQod1u877

@MtS_DesignerBut I don’t understand why let Insight vs Deception against a lie, while not Insight vs Persuasion against a decision. Insight isn't limited to discerning duplicity. It's for when you're trying to get a read on someone.

@JeremyECrawford So, considering the 2nd dot of the Charmed Condition, the NPC gains Advantage in checks…to let the DM make a description?
— Wolf Hunter (@WolfHunter83) June 23, 2016
Being charmed by a spell or another effect is a different matter than being subject to a simple Charisma check #DnD https://t.co/D3LxzPtbSY
