Impeding Permission
This spell may be cast only on creatures with
Intelligence of 2 or greater and the ability to
communicate with the caster. The spell interferes with the victim's ability to make decisions.
It prevents the victim from performing any
action without first gaining the permission of
the caster or a character designated by the caster. The victim will heed only the person designated by the caster.
Before the victim undertakes any action, he
must gain permission. He will not follow through
with an action until he gains permission. If permission is denied, the victim cannot act until he
thinks of an alternate action and gains permission
for that action.
Every round, the victim must decide his action
for that round; at the victim's initiative, he must
ask permission to perform his action. If permission is denied, the victim can take no other action
that round.
The only actions exempt from the need for permission are involuntary actions such as breathing.
Asking and gaining permission takes only a
short amount of time in most cases. A simple request, such as asking for permission to swing a
sword in the middle of combat, can be accomplished quickly. Complicated requests, such as
getting permission to act on a complicated plan,
will naturally take more time. The DM may consider adding a modifier to the victim's initiative
roll in such cases.
