Rather than some contrived scenario which for some reason requires someone to be charmed for six days on end, imagine a warlock using his powers to fullest effect. For instance, a warlock can walk through a dungeon and use charm monster at every opportunity, every round, against every creature that's susceptable. Not only can, but likely will if that's his one lesser invocation. Now, if you're about to retort about how the warlock can only have one creature under his control at a time, then you're just not putting a lot of effort into playing this scenario out. A charmed creature's trust can easily be exploited to put in a situation where it's easily dispatched.I wouldn't even say the dungeon is the best place to exploit charming creatures at will. Towns are loaded with humanoids waiting to be exploited endlessly--and a warlock with Charm can endlessly exploit. Again, the one creature limit just is circumventable. Bid your pigeons a good day after you're done with them, or send them off on some pointless errand. When they snap to, what can they do? Take a drug test to see if they've been charmed?</blockquote>
