Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Charmed?

Granted, its been a while since I played anything D&D orientated, but I feel the "charm person" mechanic is wrong (Unless it changed in 5Ed?). I charmed a creature but it still attacked other members of my party. Ok, it didn't attack the charmer, but seriously what's the point of that?

Last time I remember when you charm a creature it fights with you (Party included) against your enemies, not you friends LOL!

I think it's only friendly to the person that charmed it. Now, obv in tabletop you can communicate and be like "don't attack my allies" or w/e if the DM allows, but can't do that in the game.

Thanks.

I do recall though that in Baldur's Gate 2 when you charmed an enemy it attacked the party enemies like normal...? Anyhoo 🤷‍♂️😊

yeah i totally expected it to have the charmed tgt fight with me, or able ot control them or something. seems like a useless spell right now.

I have been disappointed by it. I turned into a drow, unstoned a drow, charmed her, and she attacked me. Wtf. Pure scripted social interactions that I can tell. :\

Charmed

A charmed creature can’t Attack the charmer or target the charmer with harmful Abilities or magical Effects.
The charmer has advantage on any ability check to interact socially with the creature.
