Menechtarun has been revised for greater accuracy.

When asked about
the charm bug, Samera was kind enough to offer this tidbit of
knowledge:

I have good news and bad news about the charm bug. The bad
news is that
the fix for this isn't slated until Mod 4 because there is some pretty
extensive work that needs to be done on this one. The good news is that
when this gets fixed we're going to be fixing a whole family of issues.
Essentially we're changing it so that charmed monsters and friendly
npc’s will be counted as friendly targets for targeting purposes rather
than neutral targets, allowing you to buff and heal them, remove their
pink pointy hats with Dispel Magic and more! And for those of you who
are wondering, Coyle is part of this group. style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">
