Ok, I have a question about Dominate Person as per "Vampire" creature. I'm going to explain a hypothetical situation where the Dominate Person is cast onto a player.
Lets say that a party of players engage a Vampire (Happens to be an Anti-Paladin from APG, with a Vampire Template, Level 6). The Vampire uses his Dominate(Su) ability which takes a full round. We are going to assume the target player fails the first Will save. The begining of the next round before the Vampire gets to go another player casts "Protection from Evil" onto the player which currently has the Dominate effect on them. The "Protection from Evil" spell specifically states that it does not prevent the Dominate Spell from landing and will not remove the Dominate effect if it's already on the player, but it does prevent the player from being commanded.
Now the Vampire has not gone yet in the round after successfully dominating a player so he has not had the time to issue a command yet, as the command take a "Move Action" and the spell requires a Full Round action to cast. Now the vampire cannot issue a command to the player.
My real question is... What state is the player in? After reading everything I can on the Vampire Dominate(Su) ability, Dominate Person Spell, Protection from Evil I would assume the player would be in a "Dazed" state awaiting a command they can not receive until the Protection from Evil is removed.
I'd be interested in seeing what everyone else thinks.
Thanks
Jeff
