[QUOTE="Dark Dragon, post: 1195490, member: 1115"] Geas was rarely used in my group, but when it happened it was mostly quite funny. One wizard used it back in old AD&D times to "convince" captured opponents to search three ioun stones (not the burnt out) for him. The other wizard was the target of the halfling's jokes. We were part of a little army that was led by our cleric of tempus (he had a general's title). One day the wizard was sleeping to regain his spells. The halfling searched some ham and put it gently between the wizard's toes. Then she lured the wizard's guard dog (a quite stupid animal) into the tent where the wizard was sleeping. Of course, the dog began licking the ham (the animal was not so stupid to bite at it). The wizard woke up and became quite angry about the disturbance. But he finished his rest first, then searched the halfling and said to her: "I want you to become a good soldier so that you can fulfil your duties while serving in this army." The wizard walked back to his tent smiling. The halfling became a very good soldier (sometimes she exaggerated), but it was funny anyway. [/QUOTE]
