![]() Pixies and Sprites have Invisibility at will, but not See Invisibility. Conjure Woodland Creatures is even worse. And it's not your decision as caster to decide what that means. ![]() But if they can't understand you or hear you over the din of battle, they'll just defend themselves. They have your voice in mind to obey because you summoned them. They don't have names, they're maybe barely aware what species they are. What's more, these are just Beast stat blocks with fey spirits shoved into them literally seconds ago. And in the first round, you've just spent your action on a spell with verbal components, so most of your speech time is already used up. Unless your caster has telepathy, that limitation is part of the 3-ring circus that is Conjure Animals or Conjure Woodland Creatures. Stuff like, "You shall not pass!" Or "Find the halflings!" More than that is a monologue and takes your action. It means each round you get time to speak or shout up to 10 words, over the top of everything else that's happening. There's something called "zero-initiative time for soliloquy" that's been around since 1974. In combat, each round is about 6 seconds, and includes a flurry of activity. If the condition isn't met before the next command or the spell expires, the activity isn't performed. For example, you might command that a creature attacks the nearest cultist, or preferably attacks any who attack you. You can also specify Conditions that will trigger a Special activity during the Duration. If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, a creature will then act as if you haven't issued any commands to them. The suggested course of Action can continue for the entire Duration. It pursues the course of Action you described to the best of its ability. The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the course of Action seem possible. You command a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two) and magically influence a conjured creature (or several) you can see within range that can hear and understand you. Here it is with the saving throws and conditions of the Suggestion enchantment edited out, such that it might read: So the amount you can speak is the real limitation. ![]() And if you talk once before your turn and once afterwards, but both are before or after theirs, it's really just 2 contradictory commands. Reactions allow a counter-response to many things at any time, and a non-action for a verbal command could likewise be at any time.īut if you talk once before their initiative and once again afterwards, it's really just a sequence of 2 commands. If you roll the worst, you can respond to anything. If you roll the best, you go first and don't know what others will do on their turns. Unfortunately, initiative is sort of backwards when it comes to awareness. The creatures have their own initiative, and you have yours. ![]() If you don't issue any commands to them, they defend themselves from Hostile Creatures, but otherwise take no actions. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no Action required by you). Roll Initiative for the summoned Creatures as a group, which has its own turns. Can I command a conjured animal to do multiple things, and at any time? Can I change my command any time or on my next turn?
