It takes its turn on your initiative, though it doesn’t take an action unless you command it to."to something like this:"The beast obeys your commands as best as it can. It takes its turn on your initiative, though it doesn’t take an action unless you command it to. It then continues to perform that action until otherwise directed."then a fairly major concern about Beast Masters (the action economy) is essentially resolved, right?PS - Please don't combine replies to several people into one message.  If you need to reply to a bunch of posts, at least keeping to one reply per post makes subsequent quotes of your replies much easier to manage.</blockquote>
