First, as mentioned the thread on lull line and critical resist chance and charisma -- the effect was really quite large. As the thread went on I did more iterations of the test which were all very consistent.

Second, back to CHA and charm breaks, I know other posters have done REALLY GOOD, pretty much "take it to the bank" quality research over the years on CHA and charm durations, and I remeber reading them here, but I don't remeber the poster names now, or when I read them, but they're here somewhere if you're really curious and at a high level they found that CHA does in fact extend charm duration. I wanted to mention that because my testing was ok but had some flaws and is also like a zillion years old, but is posted in the thread below. It also found CHA noticably extended charm duration. It is buried inside another thread which makes it hard to find.

Finally, for what it is worth, having done a chanter to 60 on blue and now doing another on green I dumped my points into CHA without a second thought. Especially kunark+ mana isn't really a problem for us, but lull criticals, charm breaks, etc always are. I can remember many corpse runs where I had to lull my way around 20 mobs naked and always wished I had dumped my starting points on Propo version I into CHA!

This is really good info and does indeed show that P99 is not using the regular EQEmu code here. Nice!
