  • Components V, S

  • Range 60-ft.

The target or targets will regard the caster as a trusted friend and ally.

• The caster casts the spell and select the desired target or target within range of the spell.

• The spell can affect 1 creature of 4 or more hit dice or, if it has class levels in a single class without racial hit dice, 4th level or higher. 

• If targeting lower hit dice creatures, the spell can charm up to 8 hit dice worth of creatures under 4 hit dice (characters with class levels in a single class are considered to be their class level even if the class offers 2 hit dice at 1st level; and up to 8 levels of characters can be affected).

• If a multi-class character is targeted, use hit dice.

• Targets that fail the saving throw become charmed.

Limitations

• Any hostile act by the caster on the target—as perceived by the target, will cause the spell to end.

• Any hostile act by the caster's associates on the target or their allies—as perceived by the target, will grant a new saving throw. 

• Any hostile act by the caster on the target's allies—as perceived by the target, will grant a new saving throw. 

• The target will not act in a way opposite to their normal behavior or alignment.

• The target will be open to some small risk (relative to the target's power-level) or some small expense (relative to the target's wealth) to help the caster but pushing the boundaries will grant a new saving throw (per the GM).

• If the target uses spells or spell-like abilities, and the caster requests such ability use of the target, there is a 25% (01-25) chance that the target will use an opposite-type ability (if applicable) or mis-cast/fail the use of the ability.
