Having done some reading on the subject, I don't think there's anything wrong with the enchanter charm charisma score check per se, rather I think the issue is that
mobs on P99 have lower magic resistance than they did in classic.
I see lots of complaining about spell resists in the newsgroups and I feel as though we don't see those levels of resists here on P99.
Enchanter charm does a MR check every tick to break. This would neatly explain why it's so powerful here.
Have a look at this post from just after EQ launch:

After casting Tashan successfully (Tashan itself is often resisted) I
have still had several instances of having my spells resisted by
white/blue MOBs. It's getting pretty embarrassing, when I waste half
of my mana making a nice spell animations, and causing no damage at
all.

Oh and that's another non-classic thing actually... Tashan wasn't a lure-type spell until May 1999 and the GZ enchanter retune.
