[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8029008, member: 6801845"] I don't know. A DM once commanded my fighter in armor to "jump" while on a ship. He also ruled that if you were in armor you sank like a rock - immediately straight to the bottom*. In any case I jumped - to the middle of the boat because that was satisfying the command while not doing something stupid. He said "you know what I mean" and told me I had to jump off the boat. I made light of it but it actually pissed me off. Fortunately the ship was docked so I could "walk" to shore. Because like I said armor = PC made of solid stone for him. So that's the problem I have with some of the commands. Kill? Kill what? A fly? Time? That half finished ale? The caster? So I stick with the standard stuff - because what's good for the goose is good for the gander and I don't ever want an NPC commanding a PC to jump while they're next to a cliff that has a 1500 ft drop. [I] *Why is it that some DMs seem to hate PCs in heavy armor and go out of their way to screw them over? This is a trend I've seen in public games.[/I] [/QUOTE]
