Well, if it's just charisma and negotiation skill, can't he just focus on that? Hell, I had a type of pseudo-eldritch entity in a setting of mine that literally negotiates so effectively that anyone too close to it would quickly find that they have been convinced to make legally binding agreements that screw themselves over without even remembering signing them.

Sounds more like mind rape than a legally binding agreement. It wouldn't hold up in a court of law most likely.

Actually, it would have held. As in, the person DOES agree to it and understands the implications. They just forget about how they were convinced to do it immediately. Not the entity's fault that they forgot.

Then who's fault is it? Because people don't go around forgetting about their contracts. And what's to stop them from just shooting the sum' bitch later on?

The person is still bound by it. I mean, you can be prosecuted for breaching laws you don't know about, this is basically the same thing. Plus they remember the contract, they forget the negotiation process. Also, it was for that Dissociation game where your character was that person filled with water spiders, those things would have been enemies, and no there's nothing preventing you from attacking them. But they would have continuously inflicted debuffs due to their negotiation skills.
