Description¶
By means of the Chant spell, the priest brings special favor upon him- or herself and their party and causes harm to their enemies. When the Chant spell is completed, all attack and damage rolls and Saving Throws made by those in the area of effect who are friendly to the priest gain
+1 bonuses, while those of the priest's enemies suffer -1 penalties. Multiple Chants are not cumulative.
Charm Person/Mammal (Enchantment/Charm) Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 person or mammal 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 is allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell to negate the effect.
If the spell's recipient fails their Saving Throw (with a +3 modifier), they regard the caster as a trusted friend and ally to be heeded and protected. The caster may give them 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 cast upon the charmed person, the Charm spell is broken. If two or more Charms simultaneously affect a creature, the most recent Charm takes precedence. Note that the subject has full memory of the events that took place while they were charmed. Also note that you cannot have a charmed creature leave the area where it was charmed.
