How about this as an idea for vampire charm that does not totally stink? Instead of the PC rolling and then if he fails is under the control of the vampire. Instead the vampire puts say a -5 penalty to the PCs skill roll and if the PC rolls below the penalty then he gets to do what he wants. But if not he does what the vampire wants. So maybe the PC has has a Will of 16 and the vampire is using charm gaze at -6 penalty power. So if the PC want to use his sword to attack he must first roll he Will and he must roll 10 or lower to use his sword but if he gets 11 or higher he does what the vampire wants.
