No, the PC can't control the character like that. They give orders, the victim may be able to make saves to resist.- What does the player get to know about the NPC? Everything? His current stats (i.e. character sheet)? His spells? Not even his spells? He knows nothing but the obvious. In combat, you can order your victim to "slay his companions" (or "slay x"), or perhaps even "slay x to the best of your ability". Out of combat, you can interrogate your foe, but they'll probably get to make Will saves, unless the victim is usually boastful.- Can he force the NPC to cast spells? What if he does not find out which spells the NPC is able to cast? Yes, you can do so. For instance, if you have dominated a sorcerer who can cast Fireball, you can force them to do it again. You may force them to reveal spells they can cast (but that may take time). You can say "Hey! Can you cast Cone of Cold? 'Cuz if you can, cast it at that Red Dragon!"- How far can the controlled character be forced to undertake actions that may result in some kind of harm for him or his allies (esp. indirectly)? You can tell him to kill his lover while she sleeps, if you're evil, and you feel like it. But he'll get a Will save with a +4 bonus if you do that. You can't order him to carry out self-destructive orders, though, so no "fall on your sword!" tricks <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />- Can the NPC character still think? Is just his body controlled, or also his mind (his soul)?He can think, but he cannot oppose you. If you order your victim to "in three days, assassinate Bob." without going into specifics, then your victim will be forced to plan Bob's assassination, not tell anyone what he's planning on doing, etc. This is great if you play a sorc with low Intelligence, who want to Dominate a smart rogue into doing something <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />- Lots of other stuff Like what?<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
