I had shelved this for awhile but it just keeps coming up in searches I do relating to charm.
Iksar NPCs seem to have had a broad immunity to charm. I see comments like "iksar NPCs are immune to charm" in many different places.
And it wasn't just guards or merchants, it was lowbie mobs like the Iksar pariahs:

Actually, anyone that can charm. I have been trying for nearly the whole level, and what I have found is that NO iksar npc's in the Lake can be charmed. I am a 27 bard, and I can't charm Marauders... its sad, but true... so throw that plan out the window =(

All Iksar NPCs are immune to charm.

From EQ Bards:
Enchanter boards from later on in 2003:
But the best evidence has to be this post from EsterTheTester which I think is irrefutable:

I have battled the Iksar Exiles (about level 27 npcs) in Warslilks woods and they ALWAYS resist charm. I have also confirmed with other Enchanters of level 50+ that have been completely unable to charm even the lowest level Iksar npcs.
Is this intentional? Or a bug?
If it is intentional, may I humbly request a message other than resist be activated when you attempt to charm the Iksar.
If I had heard:
"Your spell has no effect on this creature"
instead of the basic resist message then I wouldn't have died nearly so many times trying. =)
