I'd just modify your gen comm to allow NPC's to use the global
channels as long as they're not charmed. Due to related issues, I've
previously taken the merc-derived mobprog code and added a sort of
user-permission token with any command, so that if players cause a mob to
act directly (charm, switch, force) it will act without the ability to do
things like access any mobprog internals.
