Team Ruling : Effects of the spell Domination

Post by Alexandru Stanicu » Tue Feb 08, 2005 4:46 am

Domination provides physical control over the victim of the spell, as long as the action would not bring the victim direct harm.

Domination does not provide mental control over the victim of the spell.

Domination does not allow you to force someone to tell the truth.

Examples:
1. "kill yourself" - BAD, can be ignored
2. "jump off this building" - BAD, can be ignored
3. "attack _____" - GOOD
4. "did you ____" - BAD, victim does not have to answer truthfully
5. "go into that house" - GOOD
6. "return to your guild hall" - BAD
7. "Show me the ring on your hand" - GOOD
8. "show me the item that allows you to enter ______" - BAD

The use of this spell is covered by Avlis general rule #5
5) Common sense is a rule. If an action goes against common sense, it's not legal.

*old post removed*

The rule is not to be applied retroactively due to serious reasons that effect the consistency of various IC events in the past, which cannot be altered.
