[BIRTHRIGHT] -A general AD&D question
Sage advice in Dragon covered this querey, and I believe their anser stated
that elves resistance only affected mind-influencing effects. As hold
person is an enchantment, and not a charm, an elves resistance did not
apply.
Sweet water and light laughter until next.
