Really? I realize that this has been around for a while, but I haven't been around for a while, to have to deal with it. Does it slip the collective mind, that once you are charmed, you are basically dead anyway? That I, your Loving Infinite Master, can think of at least ten ways to kill you, and that making charm wear off over air zones simply deprives me of number seven or eight?

Now, instead of going all the way down this list of all the complicated ways in which I could force you to have fatal interactions with outside world, I'm just going to point out the immediate, just-you-and-me way of doing it.

o bob rem all
o bob drop all
o bob junk all (more satisfying than doing it myself)
c 'petrification' bob (failed petrification attempts, which are in themselves unlikely against a naked character, do not break charm at my last check)

Bob is now dead.

Now can I please, pretty please, with hugs and sugar and kisses, be able to fly Derk over Teron without trying to think of an in character rationalization for these sort of random, unacceptable, pointless, annoying shennanagins?

Your prose sounds like jerin.

I happen to agree with your post also.

This change was completely idiotic and I said so at the time it was implemented. If you have someone charmed, you can destroy their things and kill them without flying them over a city. Seriously, the reasoning behind this change was extraordinarily weak. All this did was make NPC charmies run away at annoying times.

I also hated when this was changed and wish it would be changed back. There is no point to it.

I thought this was a side affect from another code that was implemented at the same time.

I've heard of another elite change that forces remove all/drop all if the victim tries to leave or smt like that. Not sure if that is true but all that kind of changes are made in the strict refusal to simply remove charm against PCs and solve every single problem at once.-

Yeah, this change was dumb to try to attack a symptom of the problem. It should be reverted as I can attest to the annoyance of having charms disappear over air vectors and now more recently that I cannot take dominates in the same places.
