In the late 17th century, the small town of Salem, Massachusetts was gripped by a wave of hysteria and fear as accusations of witchcraft began to spread. This period is now known as the Salem witch trials, and it resulted in the deaths of many innocent individuals. To this day, the names of the witches who were hanged in Salem serve as a haunting reminder of this dark chapter in American history. One of the first names that comes to mind when thinking of the Salem witch trials is Bridget Bishop. She was the first person to be brought to trial and ultimately executed for witchcraft. Bishop was known for her unconventional lifestyle, which made her an easy target for accusations.

But at the same time if you ask someone to stab their friend and they support their action to do so does that not mean that they could do so again meaning that you ve achieved the effect of a much more powerful Enchantment spell which changes someone s outlook can t think of a good example which isn t the UA Mystic s Occluded Mind. I interpret it to mean that the subject can t take any more actions on his turn, but if someone triggered an opportunity attack or it had a chance to cast a reaction spell, it could- as long the trigger was after the end of its turn.

Bishop was known for her unconventional lifestyle, which made her an easy target for accusations. In June 1692, she was found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging. Another prominent name among those who were hanged in Salem is Rebecca Nurse.

D&D 5E Command Spell and "Turn Ends"

I just want to check to be sure other people are interpreting this spell the same way I am.

The subject of a Command spell carries out the caster's command, and then his/her "turn ends." I have been interpreting this to mean that the subject of the spell cannot take any action of any kind (reaction, bonus action, etc.) until the start of his/her next turn. Do others agree?

You would not get a bonus action, because you do those on your turn. You would not be able to use other forms of additional actions (e.g. Action Surge or haste) either. You would, however, be able to take a reaction later because that's not something you do on your own turn.

There are some reactions you could take on your own turn. You cast spell (action). Opposing wizard casts counterspell (reaction). You cast counterspell (reaction).

Close, but not exactly. I interpret it to mean that the subject can't take any more actions on his turn, but if someone triggered an opportunity attack or it had a chance to cast a reaction spell, it could- as long the trigger was after the end of its turn.

I wouldn't say Command denies reactions, either before or after the victim's next turn on which it carries out the commanded action. The way I read it, Command compels the victim to take a particular action on its next turn but has no effect outside of the victim's next turn. So it would shut down bonus actions because the victim performs the action and then ends its turn, but allowing Command to shut down reactions may have unintended consequences due to the variety of activities that use reactions, making the spell more powerful than it ought to be.

1. NPC Caster acts after PC Rogue, casts Command on PC Rogue, commanding it to drop prone on its next turn. PC Rogue fails save.
2. One or more enemies attack PC Rogue in melee. PC Rogue should be able to use Uncanny Dodge to reduce damage on one of these, but can't if you allow Command to prevent reactions here.
3. PC Rogue acts and is compelled to drop prone and then ends its turn. (No Cunning Action bonus action.)
4. One or more enemies attack the prone PC Rogue in melee, all with advantage because PC Rogue is now prone. PC Rogue should be able to use Uncanny Dodge to reduce damage on one of these, but can't if Command also disallows reactions until the start of the victim's turn after its commanded action.

I guess that's another question: does the Command spell take effect immediately (as a reaction, effectively) or on the PC's turn? I was running it as taking place immediately, so in the sequence above, the PC would drop prone on 1, not on 3.

It does seem a more natural flow that the victim would do what you just commanded it to do right away, but I suppose that's down to the imposition of abstract turns in combat.

Looking at the spell itself, in 1E and 2E it was not specific about when the victim took the commanded action. In those editions we played it as acting when commanded. We ran it the same way in 3E. Rereading the 3E spell now, however, it mentions the victim "obeys to the best of its ability at its earliest opportunity" which is the equivalent of "on its next turn", but could be subject to interpretation. We never bothered to read it too closely at the time and just went with what we were used to from prior editions, I guess. In 4E it took effect as it was cast. And 5E now harks back to the 3E version of the spell.

Nurse was an elderly woman who was highly respected in the community. However, her reputation was not enough to protect her from being accused of witchcraft. Despite the testimonies of her neighbors and family members attesting to her innocence, Nurse was hanged in July 1692. Martha Corey is also a well-known name from the Salem witch trials. Corey's husband had publicly denounced the trials, which made her a prime target for accusations. Her refusal to confess to being a witch sealed her fate, and she was hanged in September 1692. A particularly tragic case is that of Sarah Good, who was accused alongside her young daughter, Dorcas. Good was a poor beggar who garnered suspicion from her neighbors. She was found guilty in June 1692 and hanged, while her daughter managed to escape execution by confessing to witchcraft. These are just a few examples of the names of witches who were hanged in Salem. Many others suffered the same fate during this tumultuous period. It is important to remember their stories and the injustice they faced, as a reminder of the dangers of mass hysteria and the importance of ensuring a fair and just legal system..
