As far as I remember, you were the only one talking about "gotcha abilities", but if you don't want to explain what you meant, that's fine.
Have different sides if a gelatinous cube do different things depending on what side is up and we'll talk.
How do you knock a cube on its side?
It's fine if you want to do it. Less fine if you have to come up with something so it makes sense to you, because that means the mechanics are more important than the fiction.
Can't they just not do the ability?
One side could be coated in caltrops or sharp stones it moved through before.
No thanks. I can do without your mansplaining of what is happening in my head.
Awww, thanks. It's not our fault, really, that we're not as smart and imaginative as you clearly are.
Okay, and you've decided that this is one such case? So...that's your opinion? My opinion is that these abilities obviously do not apply to things like oozes. I don't need to contort language to justify nonsensical actions. I just overrule them.
Probably the Dark Powers wouldn't allow it. Letting people inside the Demiplane of Dread communicate with those outside the plane would ruin their fun.
