Latest revision as of 23:09, 6 June 2013

Innate level: 8
School: enchantment
Descriptor: mind-affecting
Components: verbal
Range: short (8 meters)
Area of effect: large (5 meter radius)
Duration: 1 round / ~~level~~ 2 levels
Save: will negates
Spell resistance: yes

Description: In the eyes of all non-allied creatures within the area of effect, the personal reputation of the caster is improved by 50%. The caster can charm up to twice his ~~hit dice~~caster level in creatures.

Notes[]

The in-game spell description states that this spell lasts one round per level, but it actually lasts one round per two (caster) levels.
When extended, this spell lasts 1 round per caster level, which is marginally more than twice the non-extended version at odd caster levels.
Unlike most charm spells this spell can charm player characters and their associates.
The term "non-allied" may be misleading. Depending on PvP settings, the spell can affect members of the caster's party in the area of effect and the caster, too.
This spell only affects humanoids, even though its description says "creatures".
Contrary to the in-game description, the limit on hit dice is one less than twice the caster level.
Targets who resist the spell or make their saves still count against the HD limit.
Merchants under the influence of this spell will suffer a -15 penalty to their opposed appraise check (if they make one) when opening their store. This usually means that prices are adjusted 15% (of the item's value) in the PC's favor.
