your favorite word for "command"

[Mark]

Vibrate

 

[MerricB]

Okay, Mark... that's got me stumped.

Vibrate? Why? What context?

Cheers!

"Grovel."

 

[gunter uxbridge]

Used once against a bad guy in a full, closed face helm...
"Puke."
He looked like a sprinkler going off! That, and the DM made him take a will save to waste a round taking off the helm since he was pretty much drowning.

Not very classy, but very effective.

I've never actually done this, but I've always wondered whether it would work:

1. Walk up to an enemy who's wielding a mega-powerful weapon, magic item, or whatever.

2. Have nothing in your hand but something virtually worthless (a daisy, a clump of dirt, a shiny pebble...it doesn't really matter).

3. Cast the command spell.

4. Holding out your worthless item in one hand and pointing to his powerful weapon/item/whatever with the finger of your other hand, say "Trade!"

Naturally, this puts you in a really, really bad position if the enemy makes his save, though!

First of all, this spell is much more useful with Tongues.

Groove.

Jazzercize!

To monks with vows of silence, "Shout."

"Eat" works wonders with numerous items. Like mirrors.

If your foe is in a stinking cloud, and you're not, shout, "Breathe!"

Does "gimme!" work?

Sometimes useful against bad guy spellcasters who fail their saves, "Teleport."

Toss a baby bottle full of acid at them and shout, "Suckle!" Also works wonders in temples to love goddesses, if there are lots of statues. "Nurse," can also be useful in rare circumstances, like if you toss a woman a badger.

Vomit and urinate are my favorites, but I'm crude that way.

I don't allow those or any of the others that might offend Erics grandma IMC

First off you can't vomit on command, urinate is chancy-- might work might not

and the others... Just no

My favorites include Flee (for melee types) Sit, Sleep, and Die

For Bowtypes Miss works OK too

This one's a b-movie classic:

KNEEL!

Good One and so Skeletor

 

[Pielorinho]

"Nurse," can also be useful in rare circumstances, like if you toss a woman a badger.

This is the worst thing ever.

I really like "grovel" -- I'd rule that the groveler was cowering -- no dex bonus, and all attacks against him are at +2. If the DM was mean about this, I'd just shout, "Cower!"

"Grovel", "kneel", "bow", and "fall" have all been used by megalomaniac villains in my games: some evil clerics just can't get enough attention the standard way.

Demiurge out.
