Saving Throw: Note that a very reasonable suggestion will cause the saving throw to be made at a penalty (such as -1, -2, etc.) at the discretion of your DM.
Effect: When this spell is cast
by the M-U,
he or she influences the actions of the
chosen recipient by utterance of a few words -- phrases, or a sentence
or two --
suggesting a course of action desirable
to the spell caster.
The creature to be influenced must, of
course, be able to understand the magic-user’s suggestion,
i.e., it must be spoken in a language
which the spell recipient understands.
The suggestion must be worded in such
a manner as to make the action sound reasonable;
a request asking the creature to stab
itself, throw itself onto a spear, immolate
itself,
or do some other obviously harmful act
will automatically negate the effect of the spell.
However, a suggestion that a pool of acid
was actually pure water, and a quick dip would
be refreshing, is another matter;
or the urging that a cessation of attack
upon the magic-user‘s party would benefit a red
dragon,
for the group could loot a rich treasure
elsewhere through co-operative action,
is likewise a reasonable use of the spell’s
power.
The course of action of a suggestion
can continue in effect for a considerable duration,
such as in the case of the red
dragon mentioned above.
Effect.exception: Undead are not subject to suggestion.
MC: A snake’s
tongue && either a bit of honeycomb II a drop of sweet oil.
Wu Jen: This spell allows the wu
jen to affect the actions of another intelligent,
living creature which understands the
wu jen's language by suggesting a particular course of action.
The suggestion must be reasonable; self-destructive
actions are ignored.
Wu Jen.MC: The tongue of an asp
bathed in sweet oil.
