The other one is Piper charmspeaking Leo at the beginning of the match and talking to him while raising her sword. Calmly walking up to him. And ending him.

You said you countered all my points. With confidence I might add. Still waiting.

You said my points are moot. But your defending your "Piper cant charmspeak Leo to throwing away his weapon" because shes not smart? Well then let me think. What if I add it with the first way? What if while Piper is charmspeaking Leo and walking up to him, its enough time for her to think "oh wait!, Leo can pull out earplugs! Let me tell him to throw his pack away!"

Piper charmspeaked people without her realizing. Im sure she can raise her sword and do a quick slash before Leo can think for himself again. What EA225 said, it is still in effect for a while even after finishing talking. Where did you get the notion that the moment she stops talking BOOM battle mode quick as lightning? Leo cant possibly react fast enough when Piper is already slashing her sword. Yes, her charmspeak actually does last pretty long. But when she fights her charmspeak wears off, she's says it herself. I'm not saying that she won't think of these things ever, just that she won't think of them in time. I'm not saying its impossible for her to beat Leo, just that its less likely than a tie. Honestly we will probably never agree because of the twist and turns of charmspeak left to subjective opinion.
