A quick rules question:
Scenario: The fighter is dominate person'ed by the BBEG. The party sorcerer, in response, casts a dominate person of his own on the fighter as well. The fighter fails his save... now what?
Who controls the fighter?
Do the BBEG and the sorcerer both have the capacity to direct the fighter's actions (with the fighter obeying only the most recent command)? Is the fighter just unaffected by the second dominate in the same way that you cannot be affected by two castings of a spell like mirror image? Does the sorcerer's dominate person override the BBEG's because his is the most current casting?
Kinda stumped on this one.

I believe this is actually covered in the rules, either for the dominate spell or under the general rules for charms and compulsions.
The result is that on the dominated creature's turn, all of the entities who currently have a dominate effect on that creature give orders and then make opposed Charisma checks. The dominated dude follows the orders of whoever rolls the best Charisma check.
