There is no "command to find secret doors"In 2024 you can do 5 things and only 5 things with command:  Halt, Drop, Flee, Grovel and Approach.  Each of those has explicit things it does.Your dislike of the new rules does not change the rules.The spell is the spell, if your boss commands me to flee and I fail the save and there is a cliff I run off it if that is the fastest way to "move away".That is the game and it is no different than if the boss casts Thunderwave at me and does more damage than my hit points.So what.  Most PCs can make multiple attacks and there is no save and there does not have to be a specific orientation.  This example with a cliff is extremely situational requiring specific geometry and spacing AND there is a saving throw, which Legendary creatures can pass at will.It is not nearly as powerful in play.  I've played a ton of 2024.   There are many more bad guys pushed into walls of fire, spirit guardians, Spike Growth or pushed off buildings or pushed into Lava then there have been commanded to do that.  On the order of probably 100 times more.  I've only actually seen one enemy pushed off a cliff in 2024, but that enemy was pushed using shove.What does sanity have to do with it? It works on sane and insane enemies alike and does the same thing to both. Having a sane route that is not the fastest means that route will not be taken.The word flee and the command flee from the spell are different things.  If you were playing a 2104 game you would have a point, but  the 2024 spell is different mechanically.</blockquote>
