your favorite word for "command"

[MerricB]

In the context of the verb, MB. It's hard to do much else when one is vibrating...

Well, possibly...

You might have been in trouble if that person had been a bard, though, with a skill in Exotic Dancing.

Oh, that fascinate effect...

Cheers!

effervesce!

I was wondering... what if you told them to "glow"? Would they try to get a light source on themselves? Light themselves on fire?

 

[Teflon Billy]

Orgasm.

Man, if I could command "Orgasm", I'd never leave the house

Command as cast on an enemy climbing up a grappling hook rope to get to me:

"clap"

He let go of the rope and fell to his death. Applauding my cleverness the whole way down.

This one gets my vote.

I might have found myself on the business end of a Ballet of Beguiling!

in 1ed it would make sense. 1 round equals 1 minute.

but with the 6 second round now. i would say the poor Giant is in need of some counseling.

Persistent Spell, of course, makes this one quite a bit nastier.

In VtM there is a dominate power that works the same way, I used "Freeze!" a couple times and after interrogating a prisoner and getting information out of him I used "Truth." to see if he would confirm it.

Ok, time for my own Command story from last session. Our entire party had been captured by the bad guys and chained to a wall overnight. Wracking our brains abourt which spells we could cast with only Verbal components, my Cleric stumbled upon Command.

So... as a Clr5 with Extend Spell, I filled up my ENTIRE contingent of spell slots with Command spells, including two doubly-extended ones.

The bad guy shows up (one of a set of demon thingies that can take over other bodies) surrounded with a group of ogres. I wasted my first double-extended Command spell on one of the ogres, who turned out not to understand Common (AARGH! ). I used the second on the BBEG, who to my surprise actually failed his save. Command: Help! Figured I would leave it up to his superior intellect to find a good way to help us in the remaining 18 seconds. Unfortunately the [/i]DM's[/i] superior intellect decided to have the BBEG go get the key (AARGH again! ) Then I wasted some more casting Command: Help (in orcish) on the ogres, who were unfortunately unable to pull our chains off the fall... We called it a night at that point

We later figured out that I should first have explained to the BBEG how he could have best helped us: by voluntarily leaving the body he was in, and enprisoning himself into the artifact we've been carrying around for that purpose (and which he was holding at the time). If I had cast Command: Help then, it might actually have worked.

PS: we're still hanging there as I speak, next session is next week Friday. Suggestions, anyone?

I've heard of a Vampire LARP where two vampire with domination were in a battle of will.

They both ended crawling before the other (simultaneously). Because failing to resist the crawl order didn't prevented from using the same power.

LARPs get so silly situations sometimes.
