Since you can't use charm person while in dialogue, I assume I should use it on a person I am about to talk to?
But who does it work on, and who doesn't it work on?
The spell states that they can't attack me, however it doesn't prevent Nettie from lounging at me with her poison. It doesn't even give me the advantage on charisma checks against her(I loaded an earlier save and the target numbers were the same with- and without charm person).
So we have to precast it, and then just hope it does anything? Seems like it very heavily promotes save-scumming.
In my opinion, we should be able to use charm person in dialogues if we have the spell prepared. Maybe not as a new dialogue option, but just as a button in the lower left beside the other options. Then we would be able to cast it if we see that we are about to make a charisma check
