BTW I noticed this last night when we were fighting the drunkard. I was
applying liberal use of my charm through out the night and was surprised
when I got the "This NPC cannot be charmed message" when I tried to charm
the drunkard's pet earth elemental. I just changed tactics and made sure I
had a pet Inferno Wizard every time we pulled the drunkard from that point
on... I love it when it drains it's mana and helps me get rid of an annoying
MOB at the same time :-)
