Last game, someone was playing the Sorceress (IIRC). When he was landing on another player, he would steal a follower, beguile him, and THEN also attack him.
Are there any rules/errata dealing with situations like these? I'm also thinking about the vampiress and rogue. Seems to me like you should have to pick your poison, not do all these actions on the poor player in the same turn.
When you choose to encounter another character, you get to pick one option. So Sorceress for example gets to pick between A) battle, B) psychic combat, C) beguile or D) take Follower.

That's what I thought. Thank you so much.
What would be very helpful is a reference where this is stipulated, wether page number in rule book or a link to some errata or rules clarification, so that I can properly challenge the player in question.
Rulebook page 9, section "Encounters", is very clear about this. Everything is as written except the emphasis that I added on the word "one":
Encountering Another Character
An encounter with another character always takes one of two
forms. The character whose turn it is may
either
attack (see
“Battles Between Two Characters” on page 11) or use
one
of
his special abilities on the other character. If a character kills
another character during the encounter, he may take any
Objects, Followers, and gold from the killed character to add
to his own. Any Objects, Followers, and gold not taken are left
on the space.
Also checking the Talisman Encounter Sequence at the end of the Rulebook is helpful when you have doubts solving an encounter.
Thank you very much Warlock, you've been quite helpful.
I was discussing all the rules clarifications I've found on this here site (checked it out for the first time yesterday) with the other players. It's been educative to say the least.
I especially liked the one about having to encounter the village or city no matter what. No more safe havens for those toads!

Wait wait wait. My italian edition Enchantress says that I may take the follower from a character I land on "whether I choose to attack or beguile him"; so I can do that IN ADDITION to attacking or beguiling. Is that an error of the Italian version?
Way, way too lazy to check (that box is too deep in the stack), but I think that was the wording on the BI Sorceress, R4th Sorceress doesn't have that bit anymore.

Italian version is indeed the FFG one, but it's likely that somehow they ended up using the BI wording for the Enchantress. Thanks.
