I have searched the forums and read the player's handbook - no luck. How do people handle charm/hold person spells and lycanthropes/shapechangers/druids?
1. The lycanthrope or humanoid shapechanger is always susceptible to charm/hold person. Regardless of the form, his/her base form is humanoid and the spell operates against him/her.
2. When the lycanthrope is in human/dwarf/halfling form, he is susceptible. When in animal form, he/she is not. (Hybrid form is probably humanoid).
3. The lyncanthrope is never susceptible to charm/hold person spells. He is no longer humanoid, but a beast/humanoid hybrid not covered by the spells. This does not work for me for shapechangers.
I tend towards #2, but wondered what others did.
