I see where you're going with this, but I would never do this. Maybe this
is just a style or culture thing, but I detest it when the game (or DM or
GM or whatever) yanks control of "me" or "my character" away from my
control. In certain exceptional instances this is understandable, for
example when under the influence of a love potion -- you know it but your
character doesn't, which makes thinks okay and actually makes for great
roleplaying.
I would be VERY careful about doing anything that rips away the user's
control of their character. This is probably one of the fastest ways to
lose players permanently.
