[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 1348954, member: 2629"] The key words in the spell description: "trusted friend and ally." Other key words "perceives your words and actions in the most favorable way." How would your PC treat a 'trusted friend and ally' in that situation, when perceiving that friend or ally in the most favorable way? If the beholder is locked in combat with the other PCs, you'd probably perceive this as an unjust attack on your ocular friend. That seems a likely 'most favorable' view. Depending upon the situation, other 'most favorable views' may be better, but that seems to be a very common best view. From there, what would you do? That depends upon the PC and his personality/alignment. A CE assassin that is willing to stab his own mother to steal her gold might look at which side seems like it is going to win before jumping back into the battle on the winner's side. "Sorry, Eleven Eyes, I love you like a brother, but I have a rule about staying on the side of the winners!" A LG paladin might be horrified by the battle and try to do everything in his power to stop the fighting. This spell is hard to ajudicate because the situations surrounding the casting tend to make it hard to imagine viewing the charmer as a 'trusted frined or ally', but that is how it works. [/QUOTE]
