[QUOTE="Daztur, post: 9437001, member: 55680"] Even if nobody is using Command for anything but Grovel or Flee it's a solid spell in terms of raw DPS is you have a fairly heavy melee front line. Hell, it can be basically Save or Die if you use it for Flee if it's on a critter that's surrounded by a bunch of your party members and that's very good for a fist level spell. It also upcasts very well in that it can make half the enemies miss their turn which is a great advantage in terms of the action economy. In terms of creative uses "repent" gets them to, well, repent. Can be a great source of info. As far as other uses there are a lot: [MEDIA=reddit]d100/comments/zzdyjf[/MEDIA] A lot of these are fairly useless but a lot are fun. Also a lot are GREAT for out of combat uses to get people to do specific things when you're not trying to kill them.
