Re: crappy rp
Would that be a DM initiiated roll?
Or should you roll sense motive to see if you force the other player to roll bluff?
Otherwise, it's pretty hard to lie IC
i.e.
"Blue is red" ( Bluff = 1+2 =3)
"Oh Sorry, I forgot, no it isn't"

Re: crappy rp
if you lie.... roll a bluff, its pretty straightforward, and assuming the player being lied to is a mature gamer... if they fail the sense motive, they will act accordingly. I've seen this done plenty of times (including with me being the sucker that would believe some rather daft things IC due to rolls).
If you REALLY dont want to roll bluff first, then at least have the courtesy to ASK for a sense motive roll.

Re: crappy rp
Rolling for bluffs requires some cooperation between PCs, as there are modifiers involved:
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/bluff.htm
Also, the SRD and PHB entries for the skill neglect to provide any modifiers for how well-practiced a lie is, or how complex it is. I believe these are gross oversights, and ones I try to account for in my DMing.
If there's a dispute, ask a DM for a ruling. I don't believe PCs should be or are required to roll bluff for all lies (as that can convey serious meta information), but its often good form to.

Re: crappy rp
Locked for offensive Subject line (i.e., suggesting another player's RP is substandard) and SHOUTING by the OP. Keep it polite, keep it civil, or take it elsewhere.
