| #1OmeFeb 08, 2015 16:22:23 | First of all a question on the spell Thunderwave pg 282 PHB.
1. Does this spell move any creature who fails the con save, regardless of size, such as a massive dragon?
Also need some clarification on Charm Person pg 221 PHB. Setup..if a 4 man party runs into 4 orcs and one is charmed.
1. Does the orc consider the whole party friendly acquaintances or just the caster?
1a. If just the caster will the orc continue to attack the other party members?
2. What can you ask of the orc or what will the orc do with its turn?
3. Will attacking the orcs companions cause the orc to break out of charm? |

1: just the caster 1a: possibly. 2: anything you can normally ask him. Though you have advantage. 3: no.
Charm, is more of an out of combat spell. It won't help too much in a fiecre battle. |

1. Does the orc consider the whole party friendly acquaintances or just the caster? Just the caster, but your is good friend so you can probably convince him that your friend are his freind too (the friend of my friend are my friends right?)
1a. If just the caster will the orc continue to attack the other party members? possibly, depend what you ask from him. and depend if your party continue to attack the other orcs? if you ask him to stop his friend from attacking your friend, your friend need to stop attacking too, he is just your friend not a slave and the other Orc are not charm by you so they will treat the situation based on their relation witht he charmed orc. If you charmed teh Orc leader, then they should listen to what his sais. If you charmed the lowest rank orc, they'll just laught at him and might even attack him for being a traitor and not attacking the ennemies.
2. What can you ask of the orc or what will the orc do with its turn? Anything you would ask a friend and he'll do his best if the demand is reasonable. Like I said you charmed the orc leader nd ask him to stop the attacks on the village he might do it for a friend, if you offer something good in exchange, if you cahrmed the lowest rank orc, and ask him to stop the attack on the village, you better to offer him shelter and protection because he's going to be executed if he return to the orc lair without any loot.
3. Will attacking the orcs companions cause the orc to break out of charm? no but he might try to stop you from attacking, imagine 2 of your friends fight together, what would you do? but then again they are Orc and Orc society are more brutish then human society, if 2 friends fight they would probably let them fight and eatthe looser.
Charm person is one of those spell that depend on the DM understanding of the rules, and of society of the different creatures in his world. and some DM might say allow stuff super powerfull, while other DM shut you down before you even cast the spell.
