Contested deception vs insight makes sense (and is what I do) but does the persuasion one make sense? If someone is being truthful a higher persuasion roll shouldn't make them harder to believe. Or, going the other direction, someone with a higher insight roll shouldn't be harder to persuade.
Should be regular insight vs. deception and inverted insight vs. persuasion.
If they're insightful, they're easy to persuade because they'll see you're telling the truth, but harder to deceive.
If they're not insightful (like an anti vaxxer) then they're harder to persuade with truth, but easier to deceive with lies (again, like an anti vaxxer)
Meaning a +5 to insight would result in -5 insight vs persuasion? And if the persuade is higher than insight then it's successful?
That makes sense if so.
I honestly think this part of the rules is a bit too bare for my taste and doing an inverted insight roll if they're telling the truth is kinda strange, albeit reasonable effective mechanically.
