Oct 31, 2013 at 15:48 comment added KRyan @BasJansen I think you should explain that in the answer, then. I just saw it and thought it was odd/possibly-a-mistake.
Oct 31, 2013 at 15:07 comment added Bas Jansen Because the charm person description on the Paizo site for Pathfinder doesn't give any nice examples like 3.5e does.
Oct 31, 2013 at 15:04 comment added KRyan Why quote 3.5 when Pathfinder’s rules are freely available? Also, the effects of charm spells seem, to me at least, to be far more thorough than mere “friendly” or “helpful” status as achieved with diplomacy or intimidate. They even specifically say the target treats you as a “best friend.”

Oct 31, 2013 at 14:59 comment added Bas Jansen I would say that is metagaming. The NPC considers the PC to be her friend (bluff/intimidate both make the NPC friendly) so why should the NPC distrust the PC and use a spell-slot that he might need for an actual dangerous situation. I could see the NPC asking what the PC is intending if the PC gives the NPC a questionable instruction but you should consider what is 'questionable' in that case.

Oct 31, 2013 at 14:50 comment added Patrick87 In your opinion, would it be metagaming to have the NPC do non-obvious checks to try to detect the treachery? For instance, if given a necklace of strangulation under these circumstances, would it be metagaming to have the NPC blow a wish or miracle spell to detect it? What about detect magic for several rounds on a scarab of death? Or detect thoughts after any questionable instruction?
