about the friends cantrip

[NovλSwλnk'd]

can anyone tell me if once the cantrip friends ends, will they still be hostile to you later on? or are they only upset for a brief period like when you steal from somebody

[Lord Adorable]

If it ends while you're near them they,ll become hostile and run around a bit looking for you so they can turn your insides into outsides.

Once that ends you're free to approach them again unless they REALLY hate you. I suggest long-resting or just being away from the NPC in question for a while just to be safe.

Mainly make any charisma rolls easier, better deals, theft, etc.

It's not recommended unless you are going to kill that person, or never interact with them again. It's also somewhat buggy in EA. So basically...probably best to avoid in EA for now. In full release, don't use it on people unless you're fine with a conflict later on.

Friends is really only worth consideration if you're attempting to negotiate with an NPC you're never going to talk to again, or a prisoner you're interrogating.

I do find it funny how the general consensus seems to be:
"Don't be friends with someone you're not about to kill."

It's a questionably-named cantrips for sure. It's very much NOT for making friends, it's for forcing somebody to temporarily be your friend against their will, with them knowing what was done to them afterwards.

I very much appreciate the gallows humor Larian throws our way, even if it seems some people don't really think it through and just go "oh neat!' and cast it. I feel like that was very much intended haha

Its sorta like charm person but the weaker cantrip version.
