Mind control?

There's no such thing!

Is mind control appropriate for lewd games?

I had a player mind controlled to attack his party. He roleplayed it well and even offered to fight the party himself (up until then I was controlling his character).

PCs and most NPCs can't be mind-controlled because humans possess true free will. This isn't to say they can't be influenced emotionally; you can still render them frightened, or charmed, or otherwise addled and thus suffering penalties to certain actions. You just can't compel them to do one specific thing, or to not do one specific thing.

Monsters are slaves to their nature and sufficiently powerful magic can compel them. The closer the order is to their nature the easier it is to force them to act, and it's all but impossible to force a monster to go against its base instincts. Think of it this way; making a thirsty person drink Coke instead of water is fairly easy, convincing them they don't need to drink is a lot harder.

PCs who willingly become monstrous or tap into fell powers open themselves up to mind-control magic, with the percentage of their soul tainted equating to the percent chance that the magic doesn't immediately fail when used on them.

By not including it. I've got libraries of material to work with so I just leave mind control out.

Depends on how the rules treat mind control.
If it's a single pass/fail roll to tell an enemy of equal level "go to the police and turn yourself in" and they'll do it, that's clearly broken and I declare it doesn't exist in my setting.
If there are multiple degrees of mind control, that's fine.

mind control is the only correct form of lewdness for games

I only add enemies that use mind control very sparingly. It's such a nasty ability that it should only be brought out if you really want to scare players. A mind-controlled character also gets a save every single turn to try and shake off the control. Players don't have access to mind control since they can use several diplomatic skills to compel people to do things. There is one class that can use telekinesis to puppet corpses or people's armor (with the user inside the armor) but the person who has their armor puppeted again will get a save every single turn to force their way out of it.

Generally I don't like using anything on a player that takes away their agency in combat. One turn of being completely stunned is ok, two is annoying, three is really crappy and not fun, more than that is just unfair.

My group is pretty solid, in the rare cases of mind control we act accordingly.

For example, our barbarian was dominated by an enemy caster who then sent him after our Oracle (healer). The Oracle had Murderous Command, a low level one round spell that makes the target attack their nearest ally. He used it on the Barbarian to turn him back against the boss, then booked it to get a head start.

We had some Benny hill shit going on as the Oracle ran back through the dungeon with our barbarian hot on his heels. Every time he got too close he'd get hit with MC and turned back for one round.

Eventually the Oracle ran out of spell slots and got fucked up, but the other two players still fighting the boss killed him before our barbarian could finish the job. Freed from the domination, the Barbarian carried his friend back to the boss room to receive healing.

The barbarian player was in control the entire time and was actively trying to kill the oracle. We all had a pretty good laugh.

Had a party with two wizards who could cast mind control shit. They did it to each other on session and our DM had them switch character sheets for the whole session. I thought it was mighty clever.

My group has a truly stupid Paladin player who gets MC'd a lot because our GM loves punishiNg him for dumping WIS.
When I GM I never use it though because it's my magical realm.

The best way to do mind control is to have a player you can secretly communicate it to. They need to be willing to roleplay their character in that condition; NPCing them is just bad.

Are you me?

to resist? a mental resilience roll that can be augmented with a limited resource of willpower

as a tool for my setting, helps keep the major factions in play, keeps the more unstable npcs in check, and generally makes populist uprisings against the top factions impossible

also makes for great sleeper agents

though my setting has like 20 flavors of mind control, so it does get weird
