Considering this is a first life toon, I know pure enchantment DC's are difficult to get over 50, so out of necessity I have tried debugging before I try and use my spells. I have discovered that *if* you can penetrate spell resistance hypnotism gives a -2 to will. Crushing despair also stacks. All three stack with enthrall, but I am not certain if enthrall overwrites fascinate or if the haunting melody minuses would stack with these as well. Has anyone tried?

I also find it annoying that dirge will heal enemy undead but not friendly pale masters. Any idea why?

Is there a top end perform check that is going to work 95% of the time? I can buff my perform over 95. Do o need that much or is it over kill?

When do you find time to cast/sing all this stuff? I have plenty of spell pen so otto's always lands but generally the mobs are dead right about the time I get 'em dancing from the fods and cleaves from the barbs and arcanes. I can't imagine casting hypno, singing enthrall and then casting crushing just get a charm to land.

I often invis and begin singing while I am entering a nest of baddies. When enthralled or fascinated, I can do whatever I want. I have spell pen as well, but not enough to do anything regularly in EE. What I am trying to find out is if the minuses from fascinate and enthrall stack; maybe even dependent on what was cast first. Oddly enough, I was attempting this tonight in a brawling area and I also found out a bug where you fascinate yourself. I tried to see what my check was to break it, but I could not get a good read. I really wonder what a max number is for perform skill to hit nearly every time in EE.
