[QUOTE="BlackMoria, post: 3262753, member: 424"] In one 2E campaign, our group was heading for a ruined keep and we got encountered by a hill giant at close range (we came around a corner in a ravine at the same time the giant did. Now, our party was only 3rd level and it as a hill giant. The DM cackled with glee while the rest of us blanched and discussed our very limited options. It wasn't good - at melee range with a hill giant and any option looked dire because one or more of us was going to get splatted. Being the cleric, in desperation, I reviewed what spells I had and the only thing I could bring to the party that even had a remote chance was the spell - Command. Everyone was glum. We rolled initative and I went first, followed by the giant. Now, the wording of command was vague enough to allow any "one word" command. DM: "Your go. Make it good cause the giant is starting the upswing of the large spiked club. It makes a good driver and you make a good golf ball" Me: "Ok. I cast Command. The one word is MASTURBATE. The DM looked startled for a moment and broke into laughter and said he would allow it. He rolled for a save and the giant failed. DM: "On the giant's turn, he lays on the ground, drops his loincloth of hide and starts to abuse his gianthood..... the rest of you can do your actions now." It took about 15 minutes for everyone to recompose themselves enough to continue. Bottom line - we killed the giant with his loincloth around his ankles. :lol: [/QUOTE]
