[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8259628, member: 508"] I'm 100% with you there. Sometimes it's what you make of it, though. Case in point: I was running a low-Intelligence human fighter and in one adventure I had a [i]charm person[/i] spell cast upon me by a sorceress and I failed my save. She warned me there were devils about and some of them had shapechanged to look just like the other members of my party, and she commanded me to keep her safe from all attacks. Now, obviously, the intention was for me to fight off the other party members if they tried to attack the sorceress. But I took her at her word and tackled her to the ground, covering her with my body to shield her from any possible incoming attacks (and, quite inadvertently, preventing her from casting any spells herself). Seeing I had her dealt with, the rest of the party went chasing after her associate (a wizard), and then she commanded me to help her escape. I responded by helping her steal the paladin's warhorse (which he'd dismounted when approaching the shop where the two enemies were located), then insisted I lead the horse by the reins while she rode on it instead of letting her ride off to safety by herself, because how could I see to her safety if I wasn't there with her? Bottom line: in an encounter with two enemy spellcasters, I prevented one half of our foes from significantly contributing to our defeat, all while [i]charmed[/i]. (In fact, I think my only die roll that whole session was the failed Will save that put me under the [i]charm person[/i] spell in the first place.) But I managed to have a good time nonetheless.
