-'''Charm Person''' is a spell that compels humanoid creatures to protect and hold the caster in high regard, depending on the situation. The spell is most effective against those of the caster's [[Humanoid|race]], while individuals of other races have greater cause to doubt the caster's intentions. Charmed persons cannot possess more [[Experience Level|experience levels]] or [[Hit Dice|hit dice]] than the caster.
+'''Charm Person''' is a spell that affects humanoid creatures, with an intelligence of 5 or more, transforming them instantly from enemies into allies. Creatures that have failed their [[Saving Throws|saving throw vs. magic]] will seek to protect and hold the caster in high regard.

 __TOC__
-Upon casting, the recipient of the spell is entitled to a [[Saving Throws|saving throw vs. magic]], with a +2 bonus if the target is of a different race. A successful save means the spell has no effect, while a failed save causes the recipient to immediately become concerned with the caster's health and well-being.
+If the affected person makes their save, then the dweomer has no effect. Otherwise, the person will cease to fight the caster and will seek instead to protect or give aid, as they're able. They will be willing to speak and provide information, share any equipment or items they have in their possession, cast helpful spells, remove obstacles, stand aside and give way, respect the caster's association with others — but they will not knowingly commit any form of self-harm. They will be most hesitant about any plan designed to coerce them into a place where they might be imprisoned or put in danger, simply refusing to take part, most likely inventing a need to remain capable of giving aid to the caster.

+Outside of combat, the charmed person will offer the caster [[Food|food]], drink, sincere advice and any clothing or equipment they may need, as long as it is reasonably apparent. The caster will find themselves treated with kindness and generosity.  If the caster is threatened, the recipient will rush to their defense, eager to protect the caster and reassure them of their intentions.

+Once the charm wears off, the recipient will recall all that occurred during the spell's effect, including their actions. This often results in feelings of shame or even horror at having been manipulated. There is a 50% chance that these emotions will lead to anger, with the former recipient seeking revenge against the caster. It is therefore recommended that the caster either avoid the individual once the spell ends or have a plan in place for handling the aftermath.
