[QUOTE="Dingo333, post: 5642012, member: 6672910"] You are making Charm Person out to be "turn person into slave" All you get is you think the caster is your trusted friend and ally. So your trusted friend and ally comes up to you and says, "Hey bud, the orphanage I work at needs some green to stay open, can you spare anything?" you look and see you have $100 on you, you are a tightwad, but your friend needs that job (insert sob story here) and give him $75. 3 hours later, do you wonder why you gave him 3/4 of your money, not likely. HE IS YOUR TRUSTED FRIEND AND ALLY, YOU HAVE NO REASON NOT TO BELIEVE HIM. and [MENTION=40166]prosfilaes[/MENTION]. So you go out downtown. As you are walking, someone is shouting in a language you do not know and pointing wildly. Can you tell the difference between "Help a T-rex is chasing me" and "Miss, you dropped your purse" There is no (almost) way the fighter would have known what spell was being cast and, as he DID NOT SAVE, has no idea a spell was even cast at him. For all he knows, the wizard was casting alarm on their campsite, or calling a demon to eat all their souls. and yes, dick moves. Threatening someone, attempting (only because DM used rewind to stop it) to kill a helpless person, not by accident, but premeditated. Hmm, most places that gives you somewhere between life in prison and the death penalty. Now, controlling someone through a substance (magic is a substance) [also, this is not entirely true as no one was controlled], Stealing (which the item was given freely) and then lying. All that amounts to 5, maybe 10 years. Which is the greater of 2 evils? Call me what you like, but the rules are as stiff as ever, none have been bent in my posts. All is perfectly right by the rules. And as for the original question. How to punish a metagamer? DO NOT PLAY WITH HIM [/QUOTE]
