[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 5018444, member: 7883"] I could see a character being limited to a certain number of instructions per round....command one monster to do one think, and it's a free action. Try to do it twice in a row (once each, with two monsters), and you can no longer take a full round action to do other things (for example). And, as you say, if you don't give a new order (ie. you ordered your companion to kill an orc last round, and the job is still not done), then the companion keeps acting on the initial order......ie. if it takes 3 rounds for your wolf to kill the orc, in Round 2, the wolf doesn't stop biting the orc, and look at you to know what to do next. He just keeps biting the orc. It's only if another orc is chasing you with an axe, and you need the wolf to leave the first orc he's mauling, and stop the one chasing you, that you would have to give a second order.
