3) Your weapon will soon explode you, you should throw it away as soon as possible.
Comus
04-18-07, 05:37 PM 4) You should go for a nice, peaceful jog to the (south, east, etc).
PwnageLlama
04-18-07, 08:41 PM Your gold is much to heavy to carry.
DM_V2
04-18-07, 08:58 PM 5) You are getting sleepy, very... very sleepy. Your eyelids are getting heavy...heavy.

6)(wave your hand in front of thier face) You don't need to see our identification's.( I always have my wizards do the hand wave because i'm a star wars fan :))

Some actualy good uses:

7) I am an aspect of pelor, my will is your comand.

8) Your companion has a(n) insert powerful magical item here in his pouch.

9) your companion want'sto kill you.

10) my spell will cause you to explode should you move from that spot within the next three days.
KillerVole
04-18-07, 09:12 PM 11) If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

12) You are only dreaming, the only way to wake up is to die...
Prator_the_Legendary
04-18-07, 09:25 PM For people who are very evil or very bored...

13) Go forth into the world and gather 1000 newborn puppies into one place. Then kick each one of them.

14) Go forth into the world and gather 1000 kittens. Put them all in bags and throw them off a cliff.

15) Go urinate on the altar in the temple of (Insert deity you don't like here)

16) Go have your "assets" magically shrunken.

17) Go *bleep* yourself.

04-18-07, 11:24 PM 19. You think of a change in profession. A Kobold Miner sound nice.

04-18-07, 11:35 PM 20) You've taken a vow of poverty, donate your things to adventures

04-19-07, 11:10 AM Most of these have been FAR out of the spell's limits. You can simply suggest one reasonably sounding action over others, not make the subject believe his weapon is about to explode... That would be a bluff check.

But well... One creative way I heard was that whole party except the bard waited outside the window, the bard walked in and told they are there to kill the NPC and suggested he would escape through the window. He did, right to the hands of the rest of the party...

This is an excerpt from the phb on the spell suggestion pg 285 which trumps the srd. "Asking the creature to stab itself, throw itself onto a spear, immolate itself, or do some do other obviously harmful act automatically negates the effect of the spell. However, a suggestion that a pool of acid is actually pure water and a quick dip would be refreshing is another matter."

Noticed how the PHB doesn't even have bluff check and believing your sword is about to explode is just as "believable" as a pool of acid is like pure water.
mcnoo
04-19-07, 11:37 AM 21) "You remember your boss telling you he was expecting us, and to let us through"

22) "LOOK!" *point* *sneak attack*

23) "Because you really love your wife, you're happy that she's found satisfaction in me" (my bard had to use that one a LOT)

TwistedPuppy
04-19-07, 11:49 AM Noticed how the PHB doesn't even have bluff check and believing your sword is about to explode is just as "believable" as a pool of acid is like pure water.

Most acids have a color APHA of 40 or less - almost as clear as water. If the fumes are being drawn away, it would indeed seem more reasonable than the sword about to explode.

25) You really need to go take a leak.

26) If you go look right in that nook of the cave you'll find a magical greatsword that will bring certain victory in this battle.

27) That (weapon) is far too hot to touch. (Thanks to Stephen King, Firestarter)
Suzaku455
04-19-07, 12:11 PM Most traditional fantasy (including black dragon's breath weapon) the color is a distinct green. Well anyway bunch of spells could be flung around or believes the spell I just cast will cause sword to explode.

04-19-07, 12:18 PM 28: While holding out a steel brush: You're soo dirty you need to scrub yourself vigorously with this lovely soft brush for an hour or so.

For the heck of it I silent/stilled that one to an NPC I didn't like. The suggestion was delivered telepathically. I got some strange looks when the man suddenly walked up to me, took the brush and started scrubbing his skin to a bloody pulp.

Yes, most of them have been out of the scope of "reasonable"or even useful for that matter.
Korvara_Verndari
04-19-07, 01:11 PM Fishing sounds like a very good idea, why don't you go find a pole and some bait.

Used this one on a bandit out in the middle of the desert... got a really funny look from the DM when it worked.

04-19-07, 01:31 PM 29. Be careful! Someone cast a spell on you, and if you move, you will explode. Wait here while I go get help!

One of my psions favorites.
UndeadMouse
04-19-07, 05:15 PM 30: if anything that you have held in your hands touches me, you will die a horrible death. (that one actually could be true with that character)

31: watch out for the demons
KillerVole
04-19-07, 05:32 PM 32. (To random grunt/minion in a dungeon): You want to go home and rethink your life.

33. You should take a short walk to sort out your anger, we'll wait right here for you...
Argo
04-19-07, 05:55 PM 34. I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job, Mr. Guard, but clearly you are the most valuable thing around here. So standing in this dangerous area is doing your employer a disservice. I think the best way to protect yourself would be to go home and take a nap... But, hey--that's me.
Argo
04-19-07, 06:02 PM 35. Hey, the boss sent me to watch the treasure room. He said you can take the night off, you've been working too hard. And he wanted me to give you this 10 gold to go have a few drinks on him. Boy, you're lucky!
Toloran
04-19-07, 06:04 PM 36. Your mothers calling.
37. Eat this, it's cheese.
**Note: It really isn't cheese**
38. Hold this for 18 seconds. (Hands them a delayed blast fireball bead with 2 rounds left).
KillerVole
04-19-07, 06:33 PM 39. Uh oh, I just dropped the pay the boss asked me to give you. It's all in copper. Why don't you count it, to make sure it's the right amount. No intruders will get through while you're counting, I'll guard the door.
doink1212
04-19-07, 11:03 PM 40. Ya. I heard the barmaid is voraciously attracted to you... but she will only "talk" to Dangerous guys.

41. (To an Elf). Here's a map. The location is right there. Its the Orcs "Elvish Appreciation Dinner". There is sure to be lots of food.
ReaderOfPosts
04-20-07, 12:54 AM 42. My favorite: as the guards are called use suggestion on the leader.
This man (point to guy you were accosting or robbing) is trying to rob me.

43. Suggestions work well with illusions: "They're lead by a dragon: retreat to the catacombs!" If they're in full retreat, they don't get to interact with it.
KillerVole
04-20-07, 12:16 PM 44. You want a fair fight. I'm a wimp, so it's only fair if you give me your weapon...
Twippie_Diggs
04-21-07, 09:59 AM 45. your companions are devils in disguise, they plan to kill you when you least expect it. you should kill them now, and not give them a chance to surprise you.
Emissary666
04-21-07, 01:48 PM 46. Why don't you just give me all your money for saving your life. (Our bard got 70k after pulling this on a king. Spent it all on wands of suggestion.)
