This weekend my party was suprised by a nasty beholder. In the first couple of rounds the warrior was hit with charm person and failed his save. Now the warrior thinks this beholder is his friend/ally, this beholder who had just killed his brother and was threatning the rest of his party is now supposed to be my friend. Now I can accept the fact I was charmed and now think of the Beholder as a friend from there the DM and I go down different paths.
The DM ruled that since I was charmed I would not attack the Beholder, that was fine spell description pretty much says that. He ruled so long as the Beholder did not directly threaten me I would do nothing (not exactly I did attempt to roleplay making peace between my old friends and my new friend)
My posistion was that since the Beholder was attacking and slaying my other friends I should at the very least get attatude adjustment rolls, with modifiers if not a new saving throw.
Being an old player I know better then to argue with the DM during the game but this is sure to come up some more. So how have others handled this situation with Charm Person?
