I also hope you don't end up back in it, it's a miserable place to be. Sending virtual hugs (consenting hugs, of course; non-consensual hugs generally only make things worse).</p>
<p>As an update, still waiting on the power supply for the laptop. The most frustrating part is, I don't even know if that's the problem, or if it's the battery. I assume it's not the battery, since it won't work even while plugged in, but that doesn't guarantee the power supply is the problem. I have to wait a week just to test it. BOO. In the meantime, feel free to continue botting me as needed (though I'll drop a post momentarily, since I have some free time).</p>I definitely know the feeling.

<p>The biggest restriction on the <i>"This condition ends if a creature uses hostile actions against you or any of your allies."</i></p>
<p>It makes sense but means unless your whole party also essentially skips (or delays) it basically ends immediately.

How I usually rule it is that it's sort of a "dazed-light." You skip your turn, but others can snap you out of it by spending at least one action to wake you up. There's loads of posts about what that entails, but I rule it as an attack or action that involves at least the fascinated target (attacking them, kicking or slapping them to wake them up, and so on). It's a strong effect, especially for a second-level spell, but the sustain makes it somewhat balanced, as does the fact that once attacked, you snap out of it as well, so you can't stun-lock someone with it.</p>
<p>My reading is stronger than the official one (basically, minor penalties to skill checks and can't cast spells, but that wasn't this creature's game plan anyway), but I think a more fun/fair one.</p>

<p>A big part of why my posting has been spotty is that my laptop no longer charges. I primarily post on my break at work from my laptop; I am usually busy with my few outsode-work hours, and posting via phone is very difficult. (Nevermind trying to move tokens on maps!) My posting will continue to be spotty until I can sort out a fix for my laptop. Feel free to bot me as needed to keep things moving. Thanks in advance for your patience.</p>Hey y'all.
