Nothing in the beast master build suggests that giving ordinary commands to your companion requires the use of a power. Thus by RAW there should be no problem. I guess it is within the realm of interpretation by a DM though. DM could rule you have to be able to talk to give commands, but again beast master doesn't actually state that commands are verbal in nature. It says exactly "the beast must be able to see or hear you." The beast can certainly see you in beast form, and it can even hear you since presumably you can make noises of some kind.In any case I would think any reasonable DM would accept that interpretation since it seems like a creative sort of character build. Some DMs like to ban things, but unless there was some really serious basic abusive problem with the build that I can't find it would sure be welcome in my campaign.</blockquote>
