Why does charisma matter?
You're right, my bad. But I just realized that the bard can cast calm emotions on himself....Vampire charm is a Wisdom save.

But why would he? He doesn't realize that he's charmed until the charm is over. There's no reason to just cast it.You're right, my bad. But I just realized that the bard can cast calm emotions on himself....
I'm pretty sure the player will want to do it, and I'll be the bad guy if I say no, because the group had a bad experience with charm last time they faced a creature with that ability.But why would he? He doesn't realize that he's charmed until the charm is over. There's no reason to just cast it.
That would be the moment that I reminded the players of that. I wouldn't allow cheating, but then my players wouldn't try it, either.I'm pretty sure the player will want to do it, and I'll be the bad guy if I say no, because the group had a bad experience with charm last time they faced a creature with that ability.
Ugh, I'd just skip it altogether if they hadn't said they really wanted to play Curse of Strahd.

Yikes, I hadn't even thought about dominate. A quick skim of the ability makes it look like calm emotions would negate that as well, since dominate person applies the charmed condition. It's one thing for a 2nd-level spell to override the 1st-level charm person, but dominate person is 5th-level--does that seem right, or am I missing something?Other than that just remember that charm is not dominate (although Strahd has that as well).

Exactly, Charm simply negates a PC.
