How does deception work in D&D 5E?

In Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), deception works through Charisma (Deception) skill checks, allowing players to lie, mislead, or create false impressions, often opposed by a target's Wisdom (Insight) check or a set Difficulty Class (DC) determined by the Dungeon Master (DM). It involves verbal untruths, acting, disguises, or fast-talking to gain advantages, but the believability of the lie, the target's skepticism, and the situation's stakes heavily influence the DC and outcomes. Success means the target believes the falsehood; failure might raise suspicion or lead to consequences.
