Persuasion rule for asking a hypnotized person to try doing something:

persuasion succeeds.

Understand "hypnotize [someone]" as hypnotizing.
|
|
|
|
Hypnotizing is an action applying to one thing.
|
|
|
|
Check hypnotizing:
|
|
if the noun is hypnotized, say "Already done." instead.
|
|
|
|
Carry out hypnotizing:
|
|
now the noun is hypnotized.
|
|
|
|
Report hypnotizing:
|
|
say "[The noun] slips under your control."
|
|
|
|
Instead of waking someone hypnotized:
|
|
now the noun is alert;
|
|
say "[The noun] returns abruptly to consciousness."
|
|
|
