[QUOTE="wyrdone, post: 5522122, member: 89165"] I just hit level 17 before our last session and my wizard found the spell "Mass Charm" and took it. We played on Sunday last week and had 2 encounters where I used Mass Charm in each. My DM was skeptical that the power is correct as written. The fact that it has no Will attack seems odd. All I have to do is tell the DM that these 2 or 3 monsters slide over there and attack their friends and they just do it, no questions asked. Can that be right? Another player pointed out that if the DM used this on us we'd be toast. Not that our barbarian's will defense is that high, but if there was a roll we'd at least have a chance that the DM couldn't simply slide our barbarian around the board and attack whichever one of us he wanted to. So was there an errata that didn't make it into the character builder yet, or is this really how Mass Charm works? And if so, what's stopping DMs all over from using it to make the PCs fight among themselves? [/QUOTE]
