List of usefull commands?

[magnusmalkus]

Anyone got a list of useful one word commands that can be used in a Command spell?

Looking for some stuff outside the box... commands useful for more than 'drop'ing to the floor or putting beings to 'sleep'.

Or is that really the limit of the command spells ability? To simply deny the victim one round of activity?

We use "run" or "sprint"

As running is in a straight line, it will take such an individual at least two rounds (one running away, and another running back) before they are back into the fight.

"Surrender" ?

For the hell of it, I'd love to say "defecate!"

Possibly not the most potent use of the spell, but you'd think there'd be a morale penalty for fighting in soiled undies.

Sorry to burst the bubbles, but Command (and Greater Command) have a set list of available words:

You give the subject a single command, which it obeys to the best of its ability at its earliest opportunity. You may select from the following options.
Approach: On its turn, the subject moves toward you as quickly and directly as possible for 1 round. The creature may do nothing but move during its turn, and it provokes attacks of opportunity for this movement as normal.
Drop: On its turn, the subject drops whatever it is holding. It can’t pick up any dropped item until its next turn.
Fall: On its turn, the subject falls to the ground and remains prone for 1 round. It may act normally while prone but takes any appropriate penalties.
Flee: On its turn, the subject moves away from you as quickly as possible for 1 round. It may do nothing but move during its turn, and it provokes attacks of opportunity for this movement as normal.
Halt: The subject stands in place for 1 round. It may not take any actions but is not considered helpless.
If the subject can’t carry out your command on its next turn, the spell automatically fails.

Assuming your DM lets you come up with other one word commands, my favorite is "Masturbate." Sure, the target probably can't actually get far in 6 seconds, but by then he's dropped his sword and is in the process of removing his trousers. With Greater Command, it's even better - or worse, depending on perspective

Why not cut the "middleman" and just Command the climax directly? Y'know, the "c" word.

Reminds me of a vampire being commanded in another system to do the same... he tried for hours.

Betray is a favorite. As well as ovulate.

In 3.0 my most effective use of Command was commanding the target to "clap".

At the time said target was holding the charge from an Inflict Critical Wounds
