[QUOTE="nittanytbone, post: 3962807, member: 35709"] Scenario: Caster is captured. Said caster is bound, gagged, stripped naked, and tied up (masterwork manacles for hands, ropes for feet with a DC 27 use rope check). Party leaves caster unsupervised to deal with the real BBEG. The caster had an Unseen Servant cast earlier which went unnoticed by the party. The captive is then dropped to zero HP and then given some subdual damage to knock them out. 1) Can the caster give a complex command to the unseen servant such as, "Wait 2 minutes. If there are no creatures in the room other than me, uncork that healing potion in the corner and pour it down my throat," or is the conditional and time delay too much? 2) Can an unseen servant do anything to free the character in this situation? It is not entitled to an attack roll ever, so I suppose it cannot attempt to sunder the ropes or smash the object. It could drop a sharp object onto the rope over and over, but that could be hazardous for the caster (at zero HP even a 1 HP nick from a dagger could lead to death). Ditto for pouring acid or some other substance onto the rope -- a splash could be deadly. A vial of oil could give a +2 circumstance bonus to escape artist checks. Could the Unseen Servant give a +2 aid another bonus to the trapped caster's checks to escape artist/break bonds? [/QUOTE]
