Let's discuss Degenesis, the post-apocalyptic game that triggers /pol/.
On an unrelated note, I have a question for everyone. In my campaign, I've added an Apocalyptic NPC. She's not particularly smart or charismatic (a Battle Crow, not a Magpie), but I let her bypass the need for Cunning rolls by telling cheap half-truths. For instance, the Anabaptist asked her about Burn, and she replied "It's horrible stuff.", which satisfied him (and his player, who is cool with his character being as dumb as a brick), but if people call her on it should I have it be a test or is technical accuracy enough to bypass that? Should I make it more difficult, but still let them roll?

Anyway, as for your inquiry, who cares, you're not supposed to make NPCs roll except for combat. If a player is suspicious, let him roll Empathy or whatever social skill is relevant, setting the difficulty to what you feel would be appropriate (so pretty low in that case).

Well, yes, the NPC wouldn't roll, it'd be the PC doing that. But since the NPC doesn't have particularly high stats (they actually originally were drawn from a premade character packet I made), she happens to have full stats regardless.
I'm more asking about whether or not it's considered a "dirty trick" to use overly exact language: She gives a half-truth, players ask if she's lying, and I imply that she isn't.

I am /pol/.
This triggers me.
REEE.
