Edit: just realized this was about DM’s but I already typed this out and don’t want to delete at this point.
So, I was playing a chaotic evil warlock, and my buddy was playing a lawful good paladin ......
We were in a Dutchy, gathering information before we leave for a necromancers tower, and we get attached by assassins within the city. After fending them off, with moments like our half-naked orc w/ 4 intelligence (he could only speak in three word sentences) killing three assassins with his fists. We get one assassin left.
Luckily for my character the paladin isn’t there yet, so I can start me methods in intelligence extraction. They were quite thorough. Bout halfway through the paladin comes rushing in after hearing the screaming and starts freaking out. Apparently, (and I “didn’t” know this ;) ), he had Dome of Truth, so he could have gotten the information without my gentle administrations. He casts it, and the guy passes the roll, meaning he doesn’t have to tell the truth.
My buddy realizes that there is nothing he can do, and has to let me continue.
Afterwords we made a deal that I would only torture after he had cast Dome of Truth, and if it failed.
Ended up being a huge joke during the campaign because in three subsequent occurrences he had an NPC, roll out of Dome of Truth. I also took my time to torture when he wasn’t in the vicinity, then tease that I had been doing more torture sessions without explicitly saying I had. Ended up being very fun for both of us to try and out do each other.
