[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 6659210, member: 6775031"] I dunno about that. It seems to me that this spell is just describing the mechanical effect of friendship - [I]i.e.[/I] A character has advantage on Charisma-based skill checks made against friendly acquaintances. It's easier to convince your friends to do stuff, than it is to convince a stranger of the same stuff. But they're still a friendly acquaintance, with all that entails. Sometimes, that might mean there is no check necessary (if the DM determines that the outcome of your action is not uncertain). Most likely, asking the guard if you can go look at the treasure would [I]not[/I] have an uncertain outcome, and your friendly acquaintance would just remind you that they would lose their job and/or head if the king ever found out. (And since this is your friendly acquaintance, the guard would also assume that you should care about their safety and well-being.) At least, that's my interpretation of how they expect it to play out. Ruling Not Rules, though, YMMV, etc. [/QUOTE]
