Very excited to finally try this class out, but the vague specifics of Unseen Servant and the lack of explanation for how the modifications made by House of Servants interact with them has the DM and I scratching our heads. An official word of any kind would be a godsend.
1. First off, it says I choose the "appearance" of the servants. So are they not "invisible, shapeless force" when created by a Rajah?
2. Does the appearance have to have any particular size or body shape?
3. Do Unseen Servants even take up a space in the first place, and if not does now having a defined shape change that? Can they hold on to a creature as it moves?
4. Lastly, what action (if any) is it to command them? I've seen assertions that in the absence of a specific rule it's a Move action to maintain/direct a spell, but if that's so do I have to use a Move action for each servant or can I command them all at once (EG to carry the palanquin)? Is it really a move action to make them say something (a free action)?
Sorry for so many questions, we've never fully grasped the spell so I want to be sure of the details before I try making my House of Servants into obviously-magical dogs or something
