[QUOTE="Richards, post: 7885042, member: 508"] I once spent a whole adventure with my PC, a low-Int fighter, [i]charmed[/i] by a female sorcerer right out of the gate. She warned him there were devils about who could disguise themselves, even as the rest of his adventuring team, and asked him to protect her. So he did: first, he tackled her right there in her magic shop and covered her with his body, shielding her from any potential attacks (and inadvertently preventing her from casting any other spells while pinned beneath him); then, when the rest of the PCs ran out of the shop chasing her grandfather, a wizard (and the reason our PCs were there in the first place), she asked my PC to help her escape so he did: by stealing the paladin's horse and helping her get up into the saddle. However, when she tried ditching her [i]charmed[/i] friend to go off to help her grandfather against the rest of the PCs, my PC grabbed the reins from her and helped lead her away from the danger. End result: I took out half of the enemy combat force in that adventure all by myself (there were just the wizard and his sorcerer granddaughter, and while I didn't hurt her at all I forced her to spend the whole adventure trying to escape my overprotective helpfulness instead of using her spells in the fight against my companions), all while [i]charmed[/i]. I think my failed Will save against the [i]charm person[/i] spell was just about the only die roll I made all evening, but I still managed to have a good time. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
