Charm spell

now. I was wondering if there was any personal enchantment spells that
would reduce the chance of being hit by it. Also, can you "cure" a
person that has been charmed? Any help would be much appreciated,
running around trying to hurt innocent folk is not my idea of fun.

the ride, able to watch, but NO keys do anything. You become, for game
purposes, an NPC. Yes, that means charmed characters, regardless of PvP
state, CAN be ordered to attack other PC's, and can be attacked back, while
charmed.

Not that I know. Cancel magic doesn't seem to work against a
charmed PC. This is, IMHO, a bug. It's okay for NPC to charm,
up to a point, but it's not okay for NPC to charm and the PC
not to have a counter spell.

As of today, all casters in BB and the Cauldron have been casting
charm. Have yet to see if cancel magic works because I'm the one
getting charmed, not my tanks.
If Cancel Magic does not work (as it is suppossed to on charm) then it
is nothing less than utter stupidity to go anywhere near a caster and
Sony has done a good job of really screwing up the game. Of course,
since everythings down again, it doesn't matter much.

I dunno I saw a non PVP 8th level Paladin mow down a poor 4th level mage
in Qeynos on Xegony today due to a charm - 4 whacks and the mage was back
in Erudin cussing up a storm - he never saw what hit him (the shots were
from behind). Bot players BLUE, neither PVP, and the Paladin didnt seem
to suffer any penalties. IF nothing else, this is a PVP loophole, and the
paladin should have had his magic stripped for the wanton killing of a
nother player (revoke Paladinhood until a quest or something is done).
As it stands, that poor mage got screwed. SOny better fix this - its
bullshit for newbies to get hit by 8th level characters in the newbie
hunting zones.

How about Taper Enchantment? I've not had to use it (yet), so no idea
if it will work.

like I was just watching a movie. I couldn't even talk to warn the guy I
was chasing. I'm assuming that the guards will kill you if you come
within their range. It lasted a few minutes, probably seemed longer than
it really lasted. The only thing I can think of to help someone that is
charmed, is to stun or root them to keep them from getting into trouble
and hurting others.

seconds but maybe that's because I'm a cleric with high wisdom. Once during
a lull in his powers(?) I grasped at a straw and cast cure disease on myself
it seemed to work and I was free from his evil clutches. Alas, my elation
was short lived and I soon met an untimely demise, but I died a free man
nonetheless.
A lot of fun this game is with all the interesting twists ("What
the....!?!....Ack!!!.....hmm....Yes!!!!.....D'oh!")

According to folks on the enchantment webboard, cancel magic
doesn't work. No words on taper enchantment. Still, taper
enchantment doesn't cancel harmful spells, it simply shorten
the duration. It's a bit of help if it works. I doubt it
though.

to remove charm. The number of castings depends on your level, the charmed
pc level and the level pf the pc that did the charming.

How is it abusable? Only NPC's can cast it on you. Also since you are
charmed you are not in control and of course your God isn't going to
hold you responsible.
It's no more bullshit then the Griffins flying around West and East
Commons. When you fight a magic casting caster you need to take
them down pronto.

all control of his/her character, they are under control of the AI and in
effect become a NPC that is grouped with the NPC that charmed them. You have
absolutly no control at your keyboard all you can do is sit back and hope
you don't die or kill a member of your group, or a innocent bystander. Have
been charmed a number of times and it is extremely frustrating.

from me, but it took about 7 tries.

I've seen both sides of this in West Karanas. Our party of three had
been killed, and we where making our way back without equipment at
night. All of a sudden the mage I'm following starts spell casting at
an NPC, then runs over to me and starts punching me. I run for it, and
he then apologises and says he was charmed. He'd a feud with paladins,
and an allied NPC spellcaster was wandering about and attacked him. A
little later we bumped into the same NPC, and he hit me with a charm.
I'd absolutely NO control over myself, I just ran for a few minutes.
Just hope I never bump into somebody armed or a monk when they're
charmed.
