Command: Uses, Fun Ideas, Discussion. Discussion. Command is a great spell with great potential versatility, good combat and out of combat use, and great dramatic or storytelling potential. An incident in my games reminded me of just how awesome it is, so I thought I'd talk about it. Suggestion and Command are two wonderful spells that I love ...
Command is an excellent tool in your combat spell casting kit. Cheap, impactful, and versatile. To say nothing of the out of combat uses, and DM granted applications. Often attempting this is going to be much better than measly Cantrip damage or healing when your party doesn’t need it. ….

The "exit" command, you suggested would make the creature to move towards the nearest ...
The description of the command spell doesn't list the effects of a "Sleep" command, but it does say: Some typical commands and their effects follow.
