| Feb 23, 2022 at 7:15 | comment | added | Saber Crusader | Remember that the DM (or player, if targeting their character) would decide how the target reacts to the command. There is no explicit rule that would make a creature go through the nearest exit, or even make it run or Dash to do so, if given the command "exit." A creature that failed the save will simply be "exiting" for the duration of their next turn. How that looks is up to the reasonable interpretation of the person controlling the affected character. Notably, although not explicit in the spell, it seems targets won't perform other actions during their turn (see the spell's examples). | |

Would they be unable to take the safest door ? Where is panic clarified as a mindset part of the spell and the choice on how to execute the Command removed? | |

If the command is "EXIT" of course it will go to the nearest. Picture yourself in panic inside a building on fire. where will you go? The nearest exit? | |

Tense, clarity.
