Spell Effects & Mechanics
- This spell cancels the effect of one spell from the Charms School. It is ineffective against all other forms of mental control, Hypnosis, Dust of Sleep, Fear Affects, Vampire Charm, etc. for example.
- Unlike most latent spells, Resist Suggestion does not have to be announced when it is invoked; there is no characteristic flash of light when this defense is used. A player with a Resist Suggestion spell knows which Charm spell has been cast on them and can decide whether to invoke it based on that information. You must invoke your Resist Suggestion immediately after being hit with the charm spell. You cannot be affected by a Speak the Truth spell then invoke the Resist Suggestion spell after hearing the question being asked and decide not to answer truthfully.
- If a character invokes Resist Suggestion in a manner that is not immediately obvious, they should consult with a Marshal to confirm that the spell was used. For example, if a character uses Resist Suggestion against an Enslave spell but is still pretending to be affected, or if a character resists a Speak the Truth spell during an interrogation, a Marshal should be informed. It is therefore important that the caster of a Resist Suggestion give the player the Power Point tags used to cast the spell so that the player has proof that they could invoke it.
