We calculate the one loop effective action for D-brane probes moving in the presence of near Bogomol{close_quote}nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield D-branes. The v{sup 2} term agrees with supergravity in all cases and the static force agrees for a five-dimensional black hole with two large charges. It also agrees qualitatively in all the other cases. We make some comments on the M(atrix) theory interpretation of these results. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
