What does NPC Is Lying, But Not About What You Think Generator create?
Create one genuine NPC lie about a different private matter than the party suspects. Separate the real secret, spoken lie, two subtle tells, suspicion, why the evidence looks convincing, what is at stake, two fair ways to find the truth and what may happen if it comes out. Add two story hooks, two table tips and a private Dungeon Master note while preserving established facts.
How much weight can a lie carry?
Choose six weights: a harmless fib, small lie, real lie, serious lie, dangerous lie or one that could change everything. Start with the NPC, party members, current investigation and tone.
What secrets and suspicions can I prepare?
Build around a secret love, money trouble, something shameful, protecting someone, a hidden identity, the NPC’s past, a fear or a secret kindness. Set the party’s suspicion, from theft or spying to betrayal or hiding what the NPC saw. Add shared history, things to avoid and private context.
How do saved lies and revisions work?
Lock, change and edit individual sections. Save lies and reopen the real secret, spoken lie, tells, suspicion, stakes and discovery routes intact. Keep versions or duplicate a result to explore a variation.
What can I copy, download or print?
Copy, export as JSON or print the Dungeon Master dossier or a player-facing clue sheet with the NPC and party, spoken lie, tells, discovery routes, hooks and tips. Select and review audience material before sharing, keeping hidden truths, DM notes and private context in your DM preparation. Players decide what their characters suspect, believe, reveal or protect. The lie starts no fight, applies no mechanic or penalty and sends nothing to Combat Pro.
