This spell makes one creature more likely to regard you as its trusted friend
and ally. If the creature is currently being threatened or attacked by you or
your allies, however, it receives a +5 bonus on its saving throw.
If the spell succeeds, make a Diplomacy check with a +15 enhancement bonus to
determine the target's attitude to you. If the target's attitude before casting
the spell was Unfriendly or Hostile, treat it as Indifferent when determining
the outcome of the check.
The spell does not enable you to control the charmed creature as if it were
an automaton, but it perceives your words and actions in the most favorable
way. You can try to give the subject orders, but you must win an opposed Diplomacy
check to convince it to do anything it wouldn't ordinarily do. (Retries are
not allowed.) An affected creature never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful
orders, but it might be convinced that something very dangerous is worth doing.
Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the charmed creature breaks
the spell. You must speak the creature's language to communicate your commands,
or else be good at pantomiming.
Restriction: Choose one type of creature when you learn this spell.
This spell only works on creatures of that type. Heightened:
Each additional 2 Power points adds +5 to the enhancement bonus of the Diplomacy
check.
