Does the smooth-tongued rogue seduce the pious priestess into bed with a simple persuasion check? Would the wizard forsake all his magical range attacks to rush up and attack the heavily armed warrior with his quarterstaff because the warrior said nasty things about his momma? At least with magic, I can justify someone overriding my character's common sense, morality, ideals and personality traits in the same way people do when drugged or similar. And to be fair, I don't really like charm magic either, for much the same reason. I don't like having control of my PCs or important NPCs taken from me. I accept it only slightly better because magic can do things that mundane things can't and override my character's actions is one. I'd rather not exacerbate by giving everyone the power to move other people's characters around.</blockquote>
