    here's what happened, I got charmed by a nymph, to counter i charmed myself back, then before my lvl1 charm ran out, so I wouldnt be taken by surprise I charmed myself again with algernon's cloak.. everything seemed to be working untill I switched locations and found myself hostile.. I wasnt atacking or anything but i was hostile and unable to control..
    any idea on how to fix this? i have no earlier saves, and having to charm myself every time ,a certain ammount of game time goes by is rather annoying..
    funny, i found the same post from ages ago, and no "solution" offered...
    this is turning out worse than I thought - now the quest triggerst dont work when i use my char to talk to people...

    The best I can offer is to wait. Turn off the AI so your party doesn't attack you when you go hostile. It takes a long time and is a boring wait, but there's not much else to do. :bad: Has this been going on a long time?

    Nymphs/dryads/sirens love to cast Dire Charm a lot. When it happens, just wait and the spell will run its course.

    If you "counter-charm" yourself while hostile, your default state becomes hostile. IOW, you're scr*wed. :sosad: Next time, a Dispel Magic or simply running away from the charmed character is your best bet. :bad:

    You could use NI or Gatekeeker etc to set your "status" to "PC" again. Alternativelly, try to export your character (should be posible) and import him again. (Copy the savegame from the "Baldurs Gate\save" folder to "Baldurs Gate\mpsave" folder, then open up a multiplayer TC ip game with yourself and load it. then you can swap characters all you want. when your done copy it back to "save".)

    Best thing is probably to go back to an older save game - not sure whether editing the save file or exporting the character will be enough.

    Next time just use Dispel Magic :)

    In general, I've noticed that countering a spell with another one isn't a very good idea in IE games, as many of these combinations tend to screw things up entirely (try using Haste to counter Slow some time - or better yet never do that!). Probably an engine limiation that was never resolved.
