[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5748823, member: 22779"] What part of "The effect lasts as long as the target remains in your presence, and for 1d6×10 minutes afterward." is difficult to understand? The effect in this case is that the target treats you as friendly for the duration. Do you regularly run away from your friends? I would think that it would be difficult to chat with someone while running away as would offering advice or help. Maybe this is some new form of friendly that I was previously unaware of. So, unless tomBitonti's sidebar discussion lasted a REALLY long time, I'm thinking that the drama here came from the fact that the DM changed the rules to suit himself. The only reason that the cat attacked the NPC is because the DM ignored the rules. See, I missed this line the first time around: Again, here's an example of a DM being a dick. Because, you know, the character would actually be THAT stupid. I certainly would never consider this to be an example of drama in a game. It's Three Stooges D&D. I've played with DM's like this and I refuse to do so anymore. "Ha ha, you said you look up! YOU SAID IT! YOU SAID IT! Make your saving throw you stupid player!" Yeah, no thanks. [/QUOTE]
