Can you use an empty Iron Flask on a player character? Would the character be obligated to obey commands of all other players for 1h? There’s no saving throw since they’re on the same plane…
Anyway, let me know your thoughts please!

Yes, but only if you’re not on their native plane. The description says “If the target is native to a plane of existence other than the one you’re on, the target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be trapped in the flask.” If the target is native to the plane the item is used on, nothing happens, as evidenced by it not saying that anything happens.

Yes, it can be used on Player Characters
The Iron Flask allows you to target any ‘creature that you can see within 60 ft of you’.
Player characters count as creatures, so you CAN target them in this way.
They will get a saving throw of DC 17 Wisdom.
Failing the saving throw will result in them being trapped in the flask.
When they are released, they will be obligated to obey the flask carrier’s commands (not all other players) unless the command is likely to result in the character’s death for 1 hour.
