[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7455775, member: 2629"] You can issue a command to a tiny servant and it will follow that command until completed. As such, you can have several multi-round orders in place at a time. You can even synchronize their orders by giving them a command to "X when Y happens". Regardless, I've seen players try to make use of this spell in combat. The idea was that they needed an extra set of hands to perform certain tasks while the PCs fought. However, the DM rightly ruled that it could not perform a lot of the tasks requested because it lacked the strength and intelligence (meaning it required more specific commands) necessary to do so. Inevitably, too, it was being destroyed when a blast spell/breath/etc... took place. There was an interesting question when an Intellect Devourer decided to make it prey.... but generally it disappointed. The wizards in question stopped using it. Given the plethora of amazing 3rd level iconic spells, I don't see this being anything more than an amusing "around town" spell used to fetch things that are far away or to impress folks. [/QUOTE]
