Regarding my mention of the most unusual occurance of a Druid making
a door go away, the DM informed my cleric character that upon further
thought I would realize that the spell used was `warp wood` , and the poor
condition of the door caused the warping wood to crumble into dust.
Now, about the `command`, does anyone out there have any truly novel
single word commands?? The standard 'surrender' , 'retreat/flee' , 'sleep' ,
etc. are getting a bit boring. I've thought about 'dance' , but never tried
it. It would be nice to be able to make an enemy become a turncoat, but I
can't find a satisifactory single word for that. Of course, those with
filthy minds (like me!) will be able to think up some rather disruptive
commands!! And just think of how powerful a cleric would be if the command
could be given in one of those languages where single words are can just be
built up from other words (as German does with nouns) !!

In such a 1 word command, it is assumed that the cooperation will be with the caster - if not the commandee may have to answer to instructions from both sides, leading to confused and/or hilarious results. Our party used this successfully when there was one enemy out of whom we wanted information.
