Talk:Medium (5e Class)

Hello, I'm the guy that made this version of the Spirit Commander class, any question you can ask me :D--SpikeSunshine (talk) 17:05, 16 February 2022 (MST)

What happens with the subordinates if the medium doesn't give any commands to some subordinates? Do they fight a nearby enemy? Do they protect themselves? Or do they do what some familiar's do and take the dodge action? Do they have their own initiative? For example, if I summon my advisor and the 3 guards and use my turn to command the advisor and 2 guards, what does the third guard do? Does he just sit there? --Wfinch21

Hello, I would personally treat the subordinates that were not given a command, for balance reasons, as if you lost concentration, as you can see in the Subordinates Controlling section:

     "While not concentrating they will just stand still."

If you choose to use the Alternate rule for Subordinate Controlling, there is a specific topic dedicated to answering your question:

     "If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures."

Regarding initiative, it isn't mentioned in the Medium Class, but I judge it would be fair that the subordinates act immediately after you and you can choose the initiative among the subordinates.

Regarding your last question, it also isn't mentioned in the Medium Class, so assuming you are using the standard Subordinates Controlling rules I personally believe that it is fair that the third guard in the situation you described would just use the Dodge action and not move.--SpikeSunshine (talk) 14:36, 7 February 2023 (MST)
