Have some questions about charm - resistance to it - disad to ST and which spells count as charm spells.
I assume any spell with the word "charm" or "charms" in the description is a charm spell. Like crown o madness.
But what about Suggestions - if you're charm resistant, iirc, it doesn't work on you. If a person is resistant to charms are they also resistant to suggestion i.e. is suggestion a subset of Charm?
Staff of Charming lets you resist, it seems, all enchantment spells (or does it?). Hold Person iirc is an enchantment spell - but does it count as a charm, too? Probably not - unless JC/SA has chimed in (which I can't find).
I play AL and so am not terribly interested in how you run it at your non AL table - though your opinion may help others (so please feel free). Am mostly interested in how a typical AL DM might rule on it.
