[OOC] Sweet Spoilerousness

[Torin]

To sum things up; we can go one of two ways and it is yours to decide.

A) I as a DM dictate how Dominate Person works, including PfE and make all the decisions alone what counts as "against one's nature"; in that case, a CG dwarf attacking a gnome having met a few days ago doesn't qualify.
In this case, there will be no retroactive gaming.

B) We make a common understanding of how the ability works, including PfE and what exactly counts as "against one's nature".
Once this baseline is established I will retroactively change just the tiniest bit (apparent to all players) and will send an additional private message to Torin on what is the exact command he's compelled to do.

Your votes and comments are welcome in the next 24 hours.

I missed your post below and thought that we are waiting for you to decide between A or B (see above).
Technically Torin is a NPC now, so it is good for me that you post in his name.

OK so PfE effect is clarified (at least 3 of 5 players say the same). As a side note, the comical effect is not so dramatic since domination does not involve split brain (memory)

Technically nobody voted whether you prefer no retro or a bit of retro for party benefit so I will apply a third solution which also satisfies Lugar's request of "most fun" without retro.
For the current round I will treat the "attack the gnome" command as if NOT against Torin's nature and will issue a new command. We'll clarify the "is attacking Portho against Torin's nature" and generally "when does attacking an ally count as against nature" stuff.
Similarly, each and every future command can be vetoed and I will either accept or deny the claim immediately and we can discuss in details later, gradually building a guideline of what counts as "against nature". Let's hope that Portho as the party's arcane PC will choose Dominate Person soon

Based on this, I ask you, Torin, to post your turn accordingly. Remember "exclusively" and "to the best of your knowledge".
