Charm person used on freindlies

Can the spell "Charm person" be used on freindly PC's? I tried this once before on a freindly NPC and it didn't seem to work mechanics-wise, but the possibility exists that I may have just muffed it somehow. :roll:

Anyone out there have some experience with this?

Similarly 'hold animal' cannot target friendly, appetising animals.

No. Sleep doesn't, either.

I thought Full PvP might enable this, but apparently not. Thanks NWN2! :gape:

Apparently, from what I've found out, currently we are unable to make spells that can target any sort of creature; you have to choose enemies only, or neutral/allies only. The sole exception to these is the Cure Wounds suite of spells, which are hardcoded to work properly.

Disappointing, but there you have it.

Yet again I find myself asking,

"Why, Obsidian? Oh why?"

as I gnash my teeth and weep bitterly.
