[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8534235, member: 2209"] Are you having trouble wrapping your head around the idea that I find something generally distasteful, but not every instance of it under all circumstances? The charm thing left me with a lot of discretion and a range of autonomy (treat the charmer as a trusted friend, that's it) was for a limited period of time (a party member figured it out and dispelled the charm on me fairly quickly), and there was no policing from the DM, they did not say I was doing it wrong, and it did not derail the game or my fun or have significant unfun consequences. This would be significantly different from always having a DM judging your roleplay as being correct or not and stepping in to change what you were doing or to always have to play to x stage direction (paladin code, dice roll result, DM prompt, whatever) in a game where I consider player direction of their own choices and roleplay a big value of the game.
