[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9440954, member: 22779"] Yes, that's what Moonbeam does. Forces a shapechanger to change back to its natural shape. And, again, I don't care how common these words are. They are not verbs. You are flat out not using the spell as intended. Which is the point. The spell was NEVER meant to be as open ended as you wanted. It was only open ended because you ignored the limitations of the spell. Which, as DM, is absolutely your prerogative. Fine and dandy. But, you don't then get to complain about cleaning up the language in the new version when it's not really any different than what came before. IOW, the mechanics you were using were not how the spell was intended to be used. That's why the go to examples earlier in the thread were "defecate" and "defenestrate" because these are both clearly verbs, as is at least in keeping with the intent of the rules. You said it yourself. Almost every possible command (almost but not all) can be denied on the same basis. Which means that the spell was never as open ended as you intended. [/QUOTE]
