Bluff at the fact that you don't know how to bluff.

You could try lying, roll your Bluff score, and see if the other character goes with it? No one's guaranteed to care -- after all, even in tabletop social scores are for use against NPCs, not PCs -- but some people might. For myself, if someone decides to tell me their stats, I use them as a cue to decide how my characters might react to theirs.

Sadly that's the truth. Of course in real life I don't have to be able to sprint while carrying a Semi-tractor-trailer over my head to represent the fact that Saris can do so by his str score.

Do what you can, and roll where you are allowed. DnD and NWN fail in all aspects social and semi-fail where mental statistics are concerned.

fjook, this is the internet. It grants a +100 circumstance bonus to bluffing. You state your untruth as easily as it were a truth and provide no emotes and no dice rolls to ever give anyone the impression that you're doing anything but being honest.

Doin' it right.

Doin' it wrong.

Sad but true, rolling bluff is probably the worst way to bluff unless you actually want people to call your bluff.

It is difficult. Kind of like the problem with codebreaking - the six-int orc played by the genius cracks the code before the 40-int wizard.
In PnP a DM would be able to point you in the right direction based on your scores.
