[QUOTE="TwoSix, post: 5572173, member: 205"] That's silly. All the power has to do is say "the target of the power is not aware of the spell's effect". Heck, bake it into the description of the charm keyword if you need to. Exception trumps general rule (per RAW). :) Also, what should be the general method of rule interpretation comes into play here. You say narrative concerns can't mitigate knowledge of effects (as per RAW). I'm saying the RAW doesn't force that knowledge on the fiction, but merely on the DM. My general method is "If there are two ways of interpreting a rule, and one doesn't work, use the other one." And if your concern is the newbs....well, don't worry, they'll figure it out. [/QUOTE]
