That's kind of how I see it. I'm hearing the same people complain about reflex/bash at the same time as this about willpower/charm. If you stack yourself with reflex to be nigh-invulnerable to the reflex-save attacks, then it seems obvious to me that you should be particularly vulnerable to the willpower & fortitude attacks. Seems like I'm hearing requests that would allow players to make their characters virtually invulnerable to all attacks at the same time they want other players to be more vulnerable to their own attacks? I strongly believe there should be gives & takes. The willpower/fortitude attacks tend to be more "I-win" spells, while reflex tends to be have far wider usage. That guy who stacks his reflex to be dodging trips, bashes, and lightning bolts like mad really should be fodder for petrification, FoD, or charm. Everybody wants their character to be able to survive (and win) practically every situation, but that's not really feasible in a world with PvP, and the changes we want to make our Character A more powerful is likely to have ripple effects on Characters B-F too. It's a delicate spiderweb.....
All of this.
But, despite the specious argument for nulling charms over air, I'd rather keep the ability to charm PCs rather than take the easy way with cryptic open air rooms to certain areas.
But most of all, I'd like to see people suck it up and stop asking for everything to be nerfed just because it can be used to kill them.
