They obviously weren't nutless monkeys, then. They were probably nutless hamsters.

So make charm person unusable on PCs.

already can no longer scribe it :(

Code:

You cannot scribe that spell.

That's one solution, but I don't favor random differences in how mechanics work for NPCs and PCs. Ideally, the spell would just be as easy to save against as say, petrification.

And yeah, I might have been the sorc most responsible for making charm person non-scribable.

Don't neglect Emet or Ealuriel either.

I charmed Tuckery with a strong charm person scroll and ganked his hoard. Good times.

1) A good number of NPCs are already marked uncharmable, so there is no "random difference" there.

2) Ideally, the spell would actually initiate RP between charmee and charmer that developed into something interesting; pragmatically, it's a huge frustration for the target, and yet another "I win" spell in the sorceror's arsenal that needs to be balance-adjusted.

That's a good point about there being NPCs that you can't charm.

Also, I scribed most of the scrolls that Emet used. Who was Ealuriel? Was that the deep-elf that syn rage-deleted?

And he had 25 wisdom, and close to a metric ton of willpower. Oh what a joyful day that was.

Haha. I was so not expecting that to work. I used the special harly spell, walked up on your group and stole you away before their eyes with a scroll.
