Message: <blockquote data-quote="plisnithus8" data-source="post: 9443727" data-attributes="member: 6870553">The spell says the caster says a word and the target must obey, but the target also must understand the language or it fails. Failing to understand language is similar to failing to understand intention. The spell spells out what happens with certain command words. The DM decides what happens with any other. The spell does not say anything about the player/caster intention having anything to do with it.Why?The direct effect of falling is taking damage. A caster can't cast command while a barbarian is swinging its sword simultaneously in 5e. Falling prone near an opponent has a lot more indirect effect possibilities: the opponent does not attack the target, the opponent misses, and ally intervenes, etc.</blockquote>
