[QUOTE="Aegeri, post: 5305401, member: 78116"] You can do this while dominated. So the rules do allow this. Noting that in this case, it's worth noting this probably prevented a total TPK because it meant the PCs wasted numerous rounds making saving throws. If you read the OP and his follow up post, if the creatures had actually used their dominates to attack other PCs this would have been a flat out TPK easily. It sounds like the PCs spent a [I]lot[/I] of time dominated. This is where as a DM you have to stand up and admit you made something wrong. Personally, I don't think anything should be "reconned" as that's just not good for the game in general. What he should do is show an understanding of what happened and just learn from it and move on, make the next encounters a lot less "deadly" but put the fun back in. Nothing makes PCs feel happier after a couple of awful encounters than some fun battles that don't horrifically murder than and remind them their characters are bad assess. Not ragdolls. [/QUOTE]
