[COLOR="#cc8899"]Had an enemy hobgoblin hanging from a ledge at one point. I could go up and stomp on his hands to make him let go and fall to his doom, but that seemed a bit too...mundane. Instead, I ask my DM if there are any large rocks nearby, prompting some weird looks from the rest of the party. He replies sure, there are a few the size of baseballs and a couple that would require 2 hands to life. I cast "Command" on the hobgobby and pick up one of the larger rocks, throwing it in his direction while shouting "Catch!"
The hobgoblin successfully caught the rock. The ground, 100 feet below, successfully caught the hobgoblin. The DM ruled that, while Command typically cannot be used to directly cause a creature to kill itself, my use of a creature's innate instincts to catch a thrown object superceded that particular restriction.
