[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9861509, member: 29398"] Even the least observant PC ought to be able to tell whether the foe has one or two or a bunch of medium and-or large weapons (or scabbards) on his belt and-or across his back. Smaller easy-to-hide weapons such as daggers are a different thing, of course. Were I the player, one of the factors that would go in to my deciding whether or not to cast [I]Command[/I]: Drop would be how many other weapons/scabbards* I can see on the target. No point making the target drop one weapon if she's got five others ready to rock. Ditto for wands: if a backup wand is hidden in an inner pocket or backpack then sure, I can't see it, but by the same token it's going to take the target longer to fish it out. * - does "Drop" work on shields if the shield needs to be unbuckled or similar; or does it only force release of what's being held in the hands at the time?
