Below is a breakdown of the most <strong>exploitable spells<\/strong> in the game, how to <strong>cheese them<\/strong>, and how <strong>DMs can counteract<\/strong> these loopholes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1st-Level Spells<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Command<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Loophole:<\/strong> The target obeys if they fail the save, and <strong>no second save is granted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Exploits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>&#8220;Grovel&#8221;<\/strong> \u2013 Enemy <strong>drops prone<\/strong> and <strong>loses their turn<\/strong>, making them vulnerable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;Drop&#8221;<\/strong> \u2013 Forces an enemy to <strong>drop their weapon or magic focus<\/strong>,

range<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;Flee&#8221;<\/strong> \u2013 Forces an enemy to <strong>run away, provoking opportunity attacks<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why It Works:<\/strong> The spell doesn\u2019t fail even if the command is dangerous\u2014only outright self-harm is off-limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cantrips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Minor

while escaping.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why It Works:<\/strong> Most creatures <strong>won\u2019t investigate unless suspicious<\/strong>, making it a perfect battlefield manipulation
