[QUOTE="Sander_Kaa, post: 5434615, member: 49981"] Hello all, I have some troubles to adjucate the effects of a Charm Monster spell in my running campaign. One of the players is using the 3.5 charm monster spell to charm his enemies. First question is: the spell says the enemy gets +5 on his will save when he is threatened. My players say this means the enemy should be in melee combat (as in "threatening squares"). I think the mere fact the charmed monster and his companion are threatened when combat starts. What is correct? (and where to find it?) Second question: assuming the monster fail their save, the monster is friendly ("willing to chat, advise, offer limited help, and advocate." PHB page 72). A diplomacy check might increase this attitude to helpfull. Also: CHA checks might persuade the monster to do thing he wouldn't ordinary do in the situation he is in. However, what about the attitude against the other PCs (who didn't charm the monster). Will the monster remain hostile (and thus attacking/bringing harm to them) or will he listen to the PC who charmed the monster who is asking to retreat from combat, hide somewhere, or even fight for the PCs. Also: where do I find the rules about this? Many thanks for your help! Sander [/QUOTE]
