[QUOTE="Smurtis, post: 5467728, member: 100320"] For story purpose, go nuts with using the literal term of being Dominated. But for those using pure RAW, it is super clear on what Dominated is defined. But you have to remember, they can still attack and use powers that say "target creature"... there is a difference between creature and enemy =)... So your examples of them not attacking is quite incorrect. Everyone has to remember, that the word "dominated" is the word WotC chose to represent the condition of being dominated. If it helps, call it being confused instead of being dominated... or call it "being Ham Sandwiched" instead of dominated... the point is; it's only a word being used, and you CANT use the literal definition of the "fluff" word being assigned to what it actually does in the 4e world. Being "dominated" lasts for mere seconds (till end of turn, or save ends, and only gain 1 action) Dracula enters Renfield's mind for a brief moment and "confuses" him (replacing the the fluff word dominated). Renfield's, in his dazed state, swings wildly (some basic attack) and strikes his ally. That example would make more sense to some of you, if you are stuck on the word "dominated" taken too literal in the 4e world. Oh, and using "ham sandwiched" would work just as much... it's not the name of the effect that matters, it's the effects themselves. ONE MORE THING: I dont know any CS agent in WotC, and i'm sure you dont either =P lol... But i ave worked as a CS agent for LARGE companies, and believe me, as minimum wage employees (or slightly there above) the quality of the service your recieve equals the quality of their pay lol...
