[QUOTE="Rel, post: 1312237, member: 99"] Oh he was most certainly that! ;) The player said that his otherwise "useless" Endurance feat (a requirement to become a Royal Explorer) finally paid off. Numion, in most circumstances, I agree with you. But this Erinyes Charm is not your grandmother's Charm Person. It is the sort that makes you betray your best friend or lay down your life for her without a thought. Moreover, if I had run things straight out of the MM, she could have done this every time she made eye contact with one of the PC's. A couple failed will saves and I could have had them killing each other and it may have been TPK city. As it stood, I only had her use the Charm ability when she was intimate with the PC in question. The subtext of the conversation prior to his agreement was that he might (if he failed the save) wind up agreeing to some things he wouldn't ordinarily be keen on. He had, at very least, a vague idea of what he was...ahem..."getting into". Plus, I gave the character a way (albeit an unsavory one) to get his soul back, the player seems to like the drama this has created for his character, if the cleric discovers it he'll have to decide where he comes down on the whole "redemption situation" and I'm having a ball with the whole plotline. So it is largely a win-win. [/QUOTE]
