The book says it works like this:
I cast the spell on you and tell you to protect me. You'll therefore attack anyone who attacks me. If I tell you to go for a walk, you'll go and keep walking until I tell you to stop, although you will eat, sleep, et cetera. If, however, I tell you to kill yourself, you won't do it.
What if I tell you to stay perfectly still? Is that a self-destructive order? If I say 'keep still, don't move, no matter what,' will you just sit there, catatonic-like, until I say otherwise? Keeping in mind, of course, this means I can attack you, coup de grace you, bite you if I'm a vampire using the dominate ability and so forth. What would your call be if you're the DM?
