Effect Your influence deepens into total control. A target currently under any magical effect caused by you that alters their emotional state (Charm, Suggestion, or similar) becomes bound by magical restraints made of pure desire and devotion. While affected, the target gains the Enthralled condition:
  • Your Disposition rises to Ally. They view you as someone to obey and protect, even over other allies or moral principles.
  • They will not willingly leave your presence and suffer –2d10 to resist future mind-affecting powers used by you.
  • They take a –4 penalty on Sense Motive, or Perception checks made to see through your deceptions.
  • They will justify their own behavior to others, even if it's irrational.
  • You may issue simple verbal commands once per round, as long as they do not clearly lead to death or irreversible harm. The target must make a Mental Resistance roll each time to disobey. On failure, they follow the command. On success, they resist for 1 round (you may try again next round).

If the underlying Charm/Infatuation/Compulsion is dispelled or ends, this effect also ends.

If the target is under the effects of Irresistible Offer, the penalties to resist are doubled (–4 to resist commands, –8 to Sense Motive or Perception), and they will act as if you are their most trusted ally.
