@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls since Compulsion doesn't work on creatures who are immune to charms does it count as a charm spell?

"Charm spell" has no meaning in the rules. A spell refers to the charmed condition if that condition is relevant. #DnD https://t.co/fhQIydfMTA

So it doesn’t create the charmed condition but creatures that are immune to the condition are immune to the spell for some reason?That's correct.

No problem!

how about the bard's instruments. they give disadv on saves vs charm, only against the condition or all spells that mention charming?

Instrument of the bards benefits a spell "that causes targets to become charmed on a failed save" (DMG, 176). Charmed—the condition. #DnD https://t.co/vGrKCLXgdD

my bard has the bandalore and now I’m thinking I might have been cheating with hypnotic pattern 😰 Hypnotic pattern imposes the charmed condition, as stated in its text.
