Hi all

I've been having some fun recently with Solon's, and spotted something
unusual happening.

Fighting outside the castle in the Dreadlands, our puller was
sometimes bringing 2 or 3 back as they appeared along his path. No
problem, I thought, charm a spare 1 and keep it and its friend busy.

So off I go, charm a giant, and set it to attack the other one the
rest of the party is hitting. My new friend is happily bashing the
other one until it wears off, and then jumps on me. So charm it
again, and lo and behold it suddenly starts hitting my party members.


Wait a minute, I think! Stop it, attack the giant. But no, it
wouldn't leave my party alone, and then jumped on me when the charm
wore off again.

Testing this out a little more .... I've been playing around lately in
Rathe Mountains with my dwarven cleric companion. He roots them, I
chant them to death, it's great! Anyway, when we had 2 giants, I
charmed 1 and set it to attack the other. When charm broke, I
recharmed and it went straight back to hitting the other giant. No
problem at all.

Anybody else had any little hiccups with charm? Is it just a
Dreadlands thing? A Kunark thing? A me thing? Or don't they like
the kind of music I play! <sniff>
