The revised text notes that if the target is ordered to do something that it would normally never agree to (killing an ally, something that would result in its own death, etc.) it is allowed an Idea roll. If successful, it will balk and refuse the order (but will still remain under Control). Failure means it will do the action.

If ordered once more to do the action it has previously balked at, it is allowed a second Idea roll. Failure means it will perform the action. Success means it breaks free from the Control.

Reminds me of a scene in "Abbot & Costello Meet the Killer". Lou is under hypnosis and being ordered to commit suicide yet consistently manages to thwart the command.


"Perhaps you would like to choose your own manner of death? Very well, how would you like to die?"

"Old age."
