[QUOTE="payn, post: 8447134, member: 90374"] Spellcasting in general. I mean, if somebody I dont know just starts casting a spell, that can be pretty frightening, even in world that magic is common. You dont know what that person is up to. I mean, these minor charm spells are seemingly harmless, but they still circumvent the targets will. I would be openly hostile to a stranger attempting that on me. In the case of the Bard performance, thats one of those situations I mentioned above where i'd spare initiative. Can you summon a fae spirit without jazz hands and vocal components? Is it some ancestral/racial ability? I need some context on why you get this off without any possible target reaction. Also, calling for initiative doesnt always indicate straight to combat. I just want a character to have a chance to react reasonably to somebody casting a spell near them. If they win, they might simply say, "WTF are you doing?" [/QUOTE]
