[QUOTE="Fieari, post: 3104449, member: 16221"] Not reasonable in combat, and there's no rational given for why anyone would want to do this. Doesn't work. I can't think of any rational that would make someone do this in the middle of combat. This would fall under "unreasonable" pretty easily I think. Suggestion isn't a sleep spell. Even if going to sleep were reasonable, I know I can't fall asleep on command, and certainly not when my adreneline is pumping for whatever reason. Not reasonable. This could work, if their life is in doubt. I'd be a lot more comfortable letting this work if it was prefaced by a successful Intimidate check. Suggestion isn't dominate. This would work with Dominate, not with Suggestion. "I'm actually your mother and you should listen to me" is the closest I can come up with, but even that isn't going to work in most cases. I mean, yeah, you might get them to think you are their mother, but that doesn't mean automatic obediance... Not worded like that. This isn't dominate, remember? "The ring must be kept safe from those who would want to steal it. I can keep it safe, so give it to me." This wouldn't work if we were obvious enemies though. It would work in a setting of court intrigue, I think. This one is pretty close to workable out of the gate, I think. [/QUOTE]
