[QUOTE="Griogre, post: 4870263, member: 21138"] I don't see the problem with this. Do you put Orcus or any other paragon or epic monster in a first level dungeon and actually expect the PCs to fight him? The cliff thing is the same to me. Are then cliffs in my world that PCs can fall off and die from? Of course. But I don't site my adventures around them, unless I do want some of them to fall off and die. Back to dominated and free actions. When I have a dominated PC I do allow the PC to talk and do some other types of free actions, but aways with the caviot that the PC can't do anything against the "special friend" that has it dominated. That PC is willing to die for that "friend" and simply won't directly or indirectly harm it. Yes, I have allowed Warlords to have the dominated PC make a commander's strike, but only what the PC thinks are enemies. The PC *really* thinks the creature that dominated him/her is an ally is how I have the player treat it. If I were ever to have a player that couldn't role play that I would take over the character for while it was dominated and run it with input from the player. Obviously, I don't believe domination changes how the PC views the other monsters. [/QUOTE]
