Restrictions

• You must be alive, visible and standing.
• The command cannot be used in a silenced room.
• Severe injury can prevent you from saluting.
• You cannot salute a wearable object while wearing it.
• An item named after WITH MY must be a weapon or shield held in one of your hands.
• If both hands are occupied by items other than weapons or shields, you cannot render a salute.
