[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 7558784, member: 2011"] If you say so. Personally, the Conjure Animal spell states that the creatures appear in unoccupied spaces that you see. To me, this sounds like the caster can control exactly which spaces when he casts the spell, just like most other spells. The spell also states that they obey [b][I]ANY[/I][/b] verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you). I can see where a DM might say that all of the summoned creatures has to obey the same command, but on the other hand, no action is required. The caster is concentrating on the spell and should be able to command each creature individually, but even without that, the command "Dodge attacks, but don't move" doesn't seem that unreasonable because regardless of creature intelligence, the spell is magic and allows them to understand any verbal command given. How can they obey it if they don't understand it? Taking your restraints to their logical conclusion, creatures with Int 2 wouldn't understand any command. Meh. A restraint? I didn't read that restraint in the spell description. [/QUOTE]
