Had a long talk, I think things have been worked out. Thank you all, thread closed.

Tell her upfront, but in a polite way.

"Our concept was to be kind of mysterious, but it's really hard to do that right now. Is there a way we can include you in that, so that we can have the core concept that we wanted to play with?"

thank you just texted that, her reply besides calling us stupid was "Look I think its great for story here you thought you wouldn't have anyone knowing who you are so now you have everyone knowing who you are your race is fooling itself and in oblivion about the world knowing you doesn't that make it better!"

You and your friend could reveal to the party that everything you've said so far was just the "cover story" your people came up with to fool gullible people, I suppose...

...but it's probably better to ask her why she feels like raining on your parade.

her words "Look I know the race exists that's it, so make your disguise check I have a +18 sense motive and a +18 perception and I rolled a nat 20 on each"


Looking for advice on how to handle this, my DM allowed us to create new races as per the race guide, we were allowed to create our own back story for the races as well, so a buddy and I decided to be the same race, and have our back story for the race be one of myth and legend, we live on the outskirts of civilization and in constant hiding when a kingdom comes near we don't start wars and we don't make ourselves known we are nothing but old wives tales at best. our race can pretty much not even pass for any other race so when we join the party we are disguised horribly as humans with "conditions" just for fun, the DM said ok and everyone was fine with having something in the group that they didn't know what it was. all except one person she sat down and had to roll every knowledge, perception, all the time saying our race name that we were only supposed to give the DM because it was agreed our race was unknown but she just said "oh I know they exist" and recanted our back story and then worked in that she had been spying on us forever.

I consider this annoying because we did this for fun and this one person HAS to know EVERYTHING and just spout it out to any npc we meet, thoughts?
