I was under the impression that this spell affected emotional state of reasoning creatures (i.e. those with free INT in rules terms).
If I were an intelligent creature and I saw a broo approaching with a glint in his eye, then I would be off if I wasn't sure of the outcome of a fight.
Of course the other problem with using befuddle from the broo point of view, is the fact that its effects are dispelled as soon as any act of aggression occurs against the victim.
Now our amorous broo, Mr. Ramsbottom, could try to tie up the victim to be possibly. (One GM in a game allowed this, though in my opinion it is an aggressive act in its own right. Mind you, perhaps the character in question was into bondage ;-) ). Of course he would have to be very careful about it....
"Hey Ted, pass us the fur lined shackles and be careful not to pinch the skin when you put that muzzle on the beast"
The same would go for Ken Murphy's suggestion that...
>These guys then Befuddle (or whatever) the first Whale they encounter...
and ...1 to >take the blowhole(yeech),and the rest to slash cuts into the
body of the whale where
>they can then get to rocking(double yeech)
- -. if it was befuddle that the broo were trying to utilise. Trying to
suffocate and cut the creature seems aggressive to me.
An idea comes to mind. Trickster in a whaling village plagued by broo comes up with a way to eradicate the broo, or at least cut the numbers and make some money on the side. Approaches village elders and tells them he will get rid of at least the most feared broo for a purse. Approaches broo and goads, persuades, tricks, whatever, broo into trying to breed with whale. Sets up seating on the cliffs and opens a book on which will broo will last longest. Meets with Mermen to 'arrange' it so that he doesn't have to pay off any bets. "Listen lads, just make sure the biggest guy in the heaviest armour drowns last." Collect bounty, winnings, praise, love, admiration... wow, sorry getting a little carried away. Go and spend money made on as much rich food and drink as can be found in this flea pit, hole of a village and then leave for somewhere where talents are more appreciated.
Now if you're talking about a Mindblast, then that might work. Don't know the workings of that bloody corrupt Lunar magic, but I wouldn't put it past that lot to teach a broo anything.
