Some things I'd like peoples opinions on, and if it exists maybe the FAQ.

An order is given in the casting of the spell

Credence for this lies in the idea that on a success "the target is stunned 1 **as it fights off your commands"**, which suggests a command was issues in the casting of the spell.

The knock-on effect for this is that if you critically fail, and say the command was to kill your allies, you'd never get another save because you are never given a "new" order that is against your nature. The first order is in the casting of the spell, and the enemy never needs to issue an order again.

Thoughts?

An order is given with ever action you take, e.g. attack your allies is actually three orders

Credence for this lies in the Controlled condition which spells out that the controller dictates how you act and can make you use any of your actions, including attacks, reactions, or even Delay. Which could be interpreted that that order you three different times for each action.

The knock-on would be that you'd get three saves if something was against your nature, which does not appear to be intended, but could be interpreted that way.

When do you get the save on a Critical fail, before you do an order against your nature, or after?

>**Critical Failure** - As a failure, but the target receives a new save only if you give it a new order that is against its nature, such as killing its allies.

So; As failure [You control the target. It gains the controlled condition], but [modifies how the save works so you get it when the order is given]
or
As failure but but the target receives a new save only at the end of each of its turns only if you give it a new order that is against its nature

The knock-on of the first interpretation being that just for situations where you are doing something against your nature, failing seems more powerful that crit failure, as failure only spells out getting a save at the end of your turn, and never in situations of against your nature, so you'd not get the save before attacking.

In C6 there is a library and I'm trying to come up with a way to draw my players in to read the books with catchy titles that they'll read over that might prompt them to do the research,

The area is in Ustalav, county of Versex near the town of Thrushmoor...

The topics included in the Library to be researched are;

Briarstone Asylum

Briarstone Isle

Briarstone Witch

But would like some title ideas for other things that might be included in a library in Ustalav within an insane asylum.
