[QUOTE="CuRoi, post: 5387219, member: 98032"] Some good suggestions have already been given. Glibness for instance, or any item that boosts the Bluff skill. If this is a "noble" or "Aristocrat" or some sort of "Expert" socialite, I imagine they alreayd have a very high Bluff to begin with... It all depends on your campaign as far as how accessible. Going by the typical DnD economy, I'd say it would be something well-off people could own. The boosts to Bluff being fairly accessible and the true Diviniation masking items (for those PCs that are going to use Zone of Truth and the like when they feel that Sense Motive isn't working...) being for the more rich and powerful. Charm Person - make sure to carefully read the spell description and don't let the players convince you it is some form of mind control. It makes the target think the caster (not necessarily the entire party) is a trusted ally but there are some conditions and possibly future saves involved. As previously mentioned, anything not a "Person" can not be affected so this gives a big range of things that can -look- human/humanoid and the spell will have no effect. Also, make your players actually try to convince the target to do things - a little roleplay never hurt anyone. I'd even give circumstance bonuses/penalties for good or bad roleplay. Fighting it? Lots of ways - More obvious Protection From Evil / Good, Dispel, Minor Globe, Iron Will, Racial abilities, Will Save or Wisdom bonus items. High level casters could maybe have contingency spells against charm effects. Less Obvious Charmed Person's allies have crazy high Sense Motive so they can tell something is wrong. Target has spellcraft and a high bluff. They know what spell was cast on them, made the Will save and are faking the Charm Person until they can use it to their advantage. Ring of Counterspells - I could see a particularly influential person wearing one with Charm Person loaded...definitely not an everyday counter to the spell though. [/QUOTE]
