[QUOTE="RigaMortus, post: 1391576, member: 1077"] What other limitations are there on Dominate Person? Can I force the target to speak? Can I force them to say what I want them to say? Can I force them to not talk or not say something I don't want them to? Do they realize what they are doing? For example: If I Dominate the king, and I make him give all his gold away to the poor: 1) What if his servants question him? What if they try and stop him (clearly they see something wrong here, as it's not his normal behavior to do so). Can I make the the king not respond to these questions? Or make him get upset ("Insulant fool, do not question me!")? 2) Will the king proceed with the action of giving away his gold, but in his mind wonder why he's doing it? 3) Dominate can last days. If I am not constantly "monitoring" the target, can he eventually warn others on his own? "Something isn't right here. I keep acting out of character. I must be dominated. Find the person responsible and kill them for me!" 4) After a course of action has been taken (ie, King gave away all his gold), will the target realize it? Can he then warn others that he was controlled into doing that? Assuming I don't command him to say/do otherwise... [/QUOTE]
