Game Mechanics: Charmed npcs do too much damage

[Danth]

Also, there are still cases of mobs that just plain hit for too much, albeit mostly at low-mid levels. Between that and combat generally still acting a little wonky, with an added dash of charm itself probably being modeled on the generous side, you have a recipe for charmed NPC's dominating.

I suspect many of P1999's combat-related oddities stem ultimately from EQ Emulator being based on a version of EQ from after the great combat revamp of circa 2004.
