[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 5467573, member: 6669048"] Let's look at the literary devices. Dracula invades Renfield's mind and makes him crazy...but can't make him hurt his friends? Saruman uses Wormtongue to control King Theodin's mind and forces him to...do nothing because his nation is an ally and he wouldn't ruin it? The literary device that the Dominated status is attempting to reproduce is the mind-controlling characteristics of a wide range of monsters and villains. If you don't allow the ally/enemy fudge when making those attacks, you're destroying that very literary device. Period. You can argue until you're blue in the face about rules and be 100% right, but that doesn't make me wrong in the least either because I already said it's not RAW. I guess you know the rules better than a guy who is paid a salary by the company solely to know the rules of the game and answer questions about them. Have you tried sending them your resume?
