| Apr 23, 2018 at 16:30 | comment | added | Mindwin Remember Monica | @icyfire see v2 rpg.stackexchange.com/revisions/120852/2 - what you added in the "However ..." paragraph solved the ambiguity. When giving advice here, we have to be wary of how the rules lawyer might twist our "expert advice" to their advantage. | |
| Apr 20, 2018 at 16:05 | comment | added | Icyfire | @Mindwin I'm fine with the lecturing :) However I still don't quite understand your argument--can you explain a bit more how I lost objectivity? | |
| Apr 20, 2018 at 14:34 | comment | added | Mindwin Remember Monica | @icyfire Sorry for attempting to lecture senpai, but the stack is to build up an expert knowledge base. You lost objectivity with the ambiguity. I reverted my vote. But I will show my face to the peer judgement and post my 2p in a voteable (up or down) answer. | |
| Apr 19, 2018 at 18:03 | comment | added | errantlinguist | Does anyone know how this rule is implemented in translations?-- in some languages, such as Turkish, the whole notion of a "word" doesn't really work: In Turkish, one "word" could be used to translate "exit through the door on my left". | |

| Apr 19, 2018 at 15:43 | comment | added | Icyfire | @Mindwin The distinction that I'm drawing is between the magical compulsion and the mundane surrounding context that the creature uses to carry out the command. I've edited the question to hopefully make it more clear. | |

| Apr 19, 2018 at 13:32 | comment | added | Mindwin Remember Monica | Why are you subtly putting stuff into the spell effect [p.4] right after stating that it cannot be [p.2]. Make up your mind, please. The creature have to execute the command, but on its own [DM / Player] convenience. The Q hints at an attempt of using "Command" as it would "Suggestion". There is no context conveyance. -1 | |

| Apr 19, 2018 at 11:21 | comment | added | Gnudiff | Can a creature execute command which might be considered involuntary action ? For example "sleep!" | |
| Apr 19, 2018 at 9:54 | comment | added | LastStar007 | And here I thought 'drop' was telling them to go prone. | |
| Apr 19, 2018 at 8:20 | comment | added | SeriousBri | I like this answer because it uses good logic around how the command is interpreted, rather than just how it is issued. | |
