[QUOTE="nittanytbone, post: 3864040, member: 35709"] IF you get charmed... and IF you fail your save... and IF the BBEG passes a CHA check to give you an order... and IF you have no protection against sonic, mind affecting, charm, enchantments... [B]Then [/B]this is an issue. IF you have actually hauled a fellow PC or closely allied NPC in for chaotic behavior in the past then I'd allow you to skate out of the charm by doing non-lethal damage or something. Other than that, I'd say that if the BBEG commanded you to "look the other way, just this once," it would work (assuming all the other stuff failed). After all, the spell is potent enough to have someone suicidally hold against a dragon for "just a few rounds." If you are so vulnerable to this effect that you allow the caster to target you, fail your save, fail a check, and have no shields in place, you deserve to get screwed a bit. Simple spells like Silence 15', Protection from Evil or class abilities give substantial or complete protection against this spell. [/QUOTE]
