CHARM PERSON: Baldur's Gate 2 BG2

Charm Person Spell Baldur's Gate 2

Charm Person is a Baldur's Gate spell in BioWare's cRPG of 1998-2001, Baldur's Gate.

• Charm Person (Enchantment/Charm) 
• Level: 1
• Range: Visual range of caster 
• Duration: 5 rounds
• Casting Time: 1 
• Area of Effect: 1 person 
• Saving Throw: Neg. 

This spell affects any single person it is cast upon. The term person includes any bipedal human, demihuman, or humanoid of man-size or smaller, such as brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, troglodytes, and others. Thus, a 10th-level fighter could be charmed, but an ogre could not. The person receives a saving throw vs. spell to avoid the effect.

If the spell recipient fails his saving throw (of which he receives a +3 modifier), he regards the caster as a trusted friend and ally to be heeded and protected.  The caster may give him orders, and the charmed individual will carry them out as quickly as possible.

If the caster harms, or attempts to harm, the charmed person by some overt action, or if a dispel magic spell is successfully cast upon the charmed person, the charm spell is broken. If two or more charm effects simultaneously affect a creature, the most recent charm takes precedence.  Note that the subject has full memory of the events that took place while he was charmed.

Also note that you cannot have a charmed creature leave the area where he was charmed.

◦ Charm Person (Enchantment, SCRL69): Single-target, quick-fire divide & conquer spell that allows us to take control of man-sized humanoids for 17 rounds. Save vs. spells at +3 negates. 

Some victims can be talked to while under a charmed state. In BG2, this spell is not as useful. Example of usage.

Unlike ToEE, charmed characters do not area-transition with the party.

Rank: Top-tier.

cf. Dire Charm.
