I just recast until it succeeds and one-turn kills the victim with the guaranteed critical hits. What did they think I'm trying to do to them with "Hold person"?

They took all the potential anger of that and directed it at my wild shaped druid meowing which seems to trigger combat sometimes.

Probably a bug.

What difficulty are you on? On easy NPCs don't mind if you fail stuff like charm person. Could be hp got categorized the same.
