[QUOTE="Mike Eagling, post: 6151327, member: 6703609"] I've always assumed the subject of a successful Charm spell comes down off their charm-high and generally thinks "What on earth was I thinking?!" but doesn't necessarily attribute the effects to magical coercion. This is obviously dependant upon the circumstances. The 1e AD&D PHB or DMG say: I agree but if done repeatedly upon the same subject, such as a town official, I'd argue their reaction would be significantly more hostile than if the same effect had been achieved through a mundane diplomacy or charm ability. Agreed, this is clearly ridiculous. Just because a reasoned argument made sense at any given point in time doesn't mean people can't change their minds later or be influenced by changing circumstances. As indicated above (at least as far as 1e is concerned) there's noting particularly certain about a magical charm. [/QUOTE]
