We got ambushed by a minor BBEG as we were running away from his manor that we had just "liberated" a miguffen from. I commanded him to "Monologue" after his and his men's first round almost one shotted our paladin and barbarian. The BBEG's background was of an arrogant noble, so once he started he just kept going even after the spell expired and even reprimanded his soldiers who attacked us for "interrupting him" giving us plenty of time to heal, buff, and re-position everyone.
Don't know if it's necessarily creative, but my last usage was "divulge"
A friends paladin cast the command “forget” on an enemy wizard after falling the save we spent about 20 minutes debating what he should forget, the final decision was that he forgot to act on his turn
"Counterspell!" on enemy wizard. Almost ended the session ten minutes after start, cause no one was sure, shoud mage Counterspell this Command or he won't be able, because spell already affected him, so he would ready Counterspell for the first spell? Finally we agreed on this one. Other players took turns, eventually grouping up, GM smirked and described, how enemy mage was ready to throw Fireball at us... And Counterspelled himself.
See if I had been commanded to "draw", I would have deliberately misinterpreted and started daring a picture in the dirt
I've actually used "confess," myself! We had a DM that wanted to run the most box-standard one-shot adventure; save the kidnapped princess from the tower. We learned the Black Knight that kidnapped her was as dumb as a post, so we knew there had to be an accomplice. Once we entered the room he was in, I cast Command, and said "confess." The knight failed the save, and immediately told us the entire plan, exposing a member of our party, our wizard, to be his father and co-conspirator. The DM said that was one of his favorite uses of Command he'd ever seen lol
Command "help" to make an enemy give the help action to a nearby ally. It was genius. He helped a ranger climb up to gain the high ground and partial cover, which basically tilted the entire fight in our favor.
I like to use the command "Defenestrate" on nobility. It has two meanings: 1. a throwing of a person out of a window. 2. a usually swift dismissal or expulsion (as from a political party or office). The DM has to choose weather the noble/royal jumps out of a window or give up his political power. My party actually made a king kill himself by jumping from a tower window with a combination of illusions and our bard convincing him that we were still on the first floor before the fight started.
Underwater combat moment: The DM's rule was that lightning bolt, when cast underwater, acted like a fireball centered on yourself due to the conductivity of water. Makes sense. So my sorcerer didn't use it underwater, except for the one time she did. See, the whole party except her got charmed by sea nymphs, and doing damage to them was the fastest way to break the charm. So I dropped a lightning bolt on the party, zapped them back to their senses, and we were able to fight off the nymphs.
This probably shouldn’t have worked but the party was facing off against a oathbreaker paladin and I used the command repent. What followed was the fight turned into a religious debate between my paladin vs him where the party eventually managed to talk him down.
session with a somewhat new player to DnD.
Be me: a Grave Cleric (forgot the race tbh but that's not important here)
We were facing some hags and managed to kill a few, but one survived and tried to get away on a Broom of Flying. Before she could get too far away, the bard cast Command on her, and she failed the save. The DM asked what he commands.
Evil wizard: “Draw!”
This was from a playthrough I watched on CZcams.
I like using old elnglish words as they can have many well terms
Rather short story but party was fighting the BBEG, wich was some sort of anchient dragon. Bard casts command on BBEG, points at the dragons hord and said something like "sort" or "organise". One nat1 from the dragon and there is a thousands of years old dragon starting to sort piles upon piles of coins by systems of age, material or name of curency.
I fought a Mind Flayer that was sitting in a chair, I pulled a Lich from Adventure Time and said "Fall." He stood up and then immediately fell down the stairs to his chair.
When the BBEG is directing his/her minions in combat, you just can't beat commanding 'Yodel'. :evilgrin:
My favorite underwater moment was me playing a warforged fighter who got quite a few bonuses when he crit including advantage to everyone attacking the same opponent until his next turn. Dm ruled that attacks underwater are made with disadvantage due to not being able to move as well. Not sure if thats raw or not as i never checked. I rolled twice and got 2 natural 20's allowing the rest of my attacks that turn to be made normally. The warforged cares not about the difficulty of the task, for they will see it done reguardless
