[QUOTE="Aegeri, post: 5231180, member: 78116"] Wait, where is this said that you can attack an enemy with their own attacks? I don't have my PHB on me to check targeting right now, but that doesn't sound completely right. Given basically everything else you wrote was wrong, forgive me if I don't take your word for it. Powers that let you hit an enemy with their own attack usually state so (The Swordcoast Corsair PP I think has a power like this). Dominate doesn't forgo a creatures save to jump off a 500ft cliff or into hindering terrain for pretty obvious and logical reasons. Including the fact that the dominate condition [I]actually says it still gets a save[/I]. Dominating rebuke is an immediate reaction, when you are dominated you have no actions and therefore she cannot use dominating rebuke. This is why you stun, dominate or daze Lolth first otherwise you're going to end up dominated. While under any of those conditions though, all of whom prevent the taking of immediate actions, you're pretty safe and your melee characters can go spamming at their whim. She can't, because she has no actions and doesn't have the ability to use dominating rebuke. Dominating rebuke targets enemies as well (Lolth does not consider herself an enemy). The update to dominate makes it clear that your interpretation is incorrect, a dominated creature does not change who its enemies and allies are. In any event, a dominating creature can only make who is it dominating take a single action on its own turn - so Lolth couldn't use dominating rebuke anyway. Mentioning again that having no actions means she can't use her immediate reaction anyway and the dominator cannot use powers outside of Lolths turns sp.... Here is the text of dominate: The above is from the compendium. As you're 0/0 in terms of accurate rules for dominate, I'm not exactly convinced that you can make a creature target itself with powers. Can you give a RAW citation or one of those articles from Wizards? [/QUOTE]
