[QUOTE="not-so-newguy, post: 9473668, member: 6786140"] I dusted off my 5e books and played a session. Somebody in our party casted charm on a zombie and I mentioned that it wouldn't affect the monster. After doing some research, I couldn't find any rule backing up my assumption. To be clear, if you do a quick google search there is something stating that "Zombies do not possess minds (they are animated corpses with no personality, memories or motivations of the person they once were). Therefore [B]they cannot be affected by mind affecting spells[/B]. The same applies to things like charm and illusion magic." On the other hand, I can't find any mention in the PHB (I checked the Charm Person spell), DMG, or MM. If there is a rule about this, can somebody tell me where to find it? [/QUOTE]
