Mind Control is No Fun

[patchyman]

So it looks like I'm spending the entirety of the adventure's only significant combat mind controlled against the party.

What do you think? Do you agree, or is that ever-present risk part of the fun?

How does your DM run mind control? When I include it in my games, the player continues to control their character, with the caveat that I will take over if the player doesn’t do their best.

I have never had to take over: on the contrary, most players are positively gleeful at the possibility to take on the other characters.

You can suggest this approach to your DM.
