What's the real argument for removing them?
<Redacted>
Small list of spells that takes away your "tactical abilities" that are currently available in the game. I took only those spells that take your control over your character.
-> command
-> sleep
-> hideous laughter
-> crown of madness
-> hold person
As bonus few not available lvl3 spells
-> fear
-> hypnotic pattern
Lest there be an argument that it is something else because it costs a spell slot, it will not work for NPCs. NPCs do not follow the same rules as players.
In the case of BG3, casters have much more spell slots than the corresponding character at their level.
