[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 1797298, member: 7808"] While I have a feeling you're joking, that statement is very wrong. Flesh to stone specifically affects the items attended by a person. With Charm Monster, the objects themselves are unaffected in any way, the person that is attending them is just likely to attend them differently. This is especially important for intelligent weapons. In the FtS case, the weapon becomes pretty much as useless as the character, where in the case of CM, the weapon may actually help to bring the character out of the charm. Personally, I find Hyp's comment very interesting because it addresses the gap that exists between game defined terms and usage of the general language having affect on the rules. In game terms, items cannot be designated a targed of certain spells, but it is slightly ambiguous as to whether or not this is the only thing that is meant by whether or not a spell can affect an object. Personally, I think I tend to side with Hyp on this one. [/QUOTE]
