[QUOTE="BlackMoria, post: 2020150, member: 424"] Something similar happened to me eons ago in a campaign run by another DM. A party member charmed me and the DM permitted that player or himself to control aspects of my characters behavior. I tolerated it for that session. Then the party member in question refreshed the charm in our next session to make sure it didn't wear off.....fully with the support of the DM. I would not stand for it. I handed the character sheet over to the surprised player and said words to the effect "Play him whatever the hell you like. I don't care anymore. I am rolling up a new character" Shocked the hell out of the player and the DM. When they asked me why I did what I did, I flatly stated that I will not now nor will I ever be a puppet for another player. And if he tries the charm routine with the new character, he can play that character too. They got the point. That is not to say your DM will 'get the point', but drop the character sheet in the DM's side of the screen and flatly state, you either have free agency to play the character you see fit or the DM can have the character as a NPC, cause this puppet dances for noone....
