actually no they wouldn't. unless they make the spellcraft check.Ninja-to said:Ah I see. I guess they'd realize they weren't being 'themself'.
True, I can see where it makes it better for the PC, but what is the guard thinking. I let those people in, it must have been because they were so damn convincingCheiromancer said:I like the answer (raised here by Thanee and diaglo) that a spellcraft check is required.
If you are a low level wizard, charm person would often be too risky to use if the guard or official charmed were to later recognize that he was under magical influence. Instead of "charm person" it might better be named "make enemy". On the other hand, if the guard had to make a DC 21 spellcraft check... well, then it could be quite a useful little spell.
