Everyone seems to be leaping right to mind control much like the charm person spell. But it doesn’t need to be so invasive.I would also expect that whatever it is the maiden is hoping to get would play a part as well. If she winks and then asks the PC to help her assassinate the king, I’d expect the wink to have much less impact. But of she winks and asks the PC to buy her a meal and a drink....seems pretty likely. It really boils down to the fictional situation and the system at play. I think that the reason this breaks down for those viewing through the lens of D&D is that the only thing there seems to be to compare it to is magical mind control of some kind. Most other similar mechanics are mostly gone, or were largely applicable only to NPCs, and therefore not a problem.</blockquote>
