[DF] Who is a valid target for Bard Spells/Powers?
What counts as sapient?

Re: [DF] Who is a valid target for Bard Spells/Powers?
Mind Control works only on subjects that are sapient (racial IQ 6+, which is relevant - a talking, intelligent dog is still subject to Animal spells, not Mind Control spells!) and which have free will (nothing with the Automaton meta-trait, for instance). (ref: Magic p.133). Unfazeable is a defense against Rapier Wit but Indomitable isn't. Many Undead and Demons have Immunity to Mind Control (the Mummy, Skeleton, and Zombie templates in Magic do at the very least).
