[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 7559249, member: 2011"] And although it is RAW, you are still unwilling to define how many words make up a brief utterance. Also, MM page 10. When a monster takes its action, it can choose from the options in the Actions section of its stat block or use one of the actions available to all creatures, such as the Dash or Hide action, as described in the PHB. PHB pages 192 and 193, Actions in Combat: Attack, Cast a Spell, Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Help, Hide, Ready, Search, Use an Object. Granted, creatures might have difficulty in using an object or it might be impossible to cast a spell. But, a Pixie could be summoned with a Conjure Woodland Beings and it should be able to cast its spells. Btw, talking about rules, "They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you).". No action required by you could easily be interpreted to mean that the verbal commands issued require no action by you. In which case the brief utterance rule is the general rule, and this is the specific rule of the spell. You are assuming that the no action required by you is referring only to obeying. I interpret it to mean that the entire sentence requires no action by you. It's magic (and a concentration spell to boot). [/QUOTE]
