Breaking Charm Person Question.

[ErichWilliam]

If an enemy Charm Monsters an PC, and that PC gets punched in the face by a party member, does that break the charm? The rule states an apparent ally. Well this person is your lifelong friend, so spell or not they are your ally.

[Daw]

BFF is rarely forever, all friendships have rough patches. Getting punched in the face by a party member is more likely to strengthen the false narrative created by the charm spell.

[Hugo Rune]

Charm Person does not make your existing friends become enemies. Depending on your reading of the spell it's effect varies from giving a +20 to diplomacy checks to auto-suceeding on diplomacy checks.

The affected party member is most likely to try and stop a fight between the caster and the party.

[LadyGrayRose]

Nope.

Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the charmed person breaks the spell.

'You' in this instance refers to the caster of the spell and 'your apparent allies' refers to the allies of the caster, so unless the party member of the charmed individual is also an apparent ally of the caster as determined by the spell, their punch will not break the Charm.
