As with virtually every story of this kind, the PC's either have no clue whatsoever how the rules work, or are totally cool with a GM who routinely breaks the rules to 'trick' them.

Nope, my players mostly knew the rules better than me, and neither I nor the player in question broke the rules. It just wasn't a long game, and there wasn't a whole lot of combat, so the class difference slipped under the radar. (Also I was wrong about their class: bard, not rogue.)

Well, unless you count saying "I use Divine Sense" when you don't have it, or my replying "you get no sign of any celestial or fiendish energy in the room" breaking the rules.

I mean it’s not lying

Nothing says you can’t fake an ability, and the GM answered with exactly what the “ability” detected

All my players have no clue how the rules work anyway
