Little gain??? I dare say you are wrong in that matter.
Roly Playing games were made to role play characters, and yes, even
items that you wouldn't be able to in that far off place called reality.
I think this is a wickedly cool idea, and limiting actions for it would
be no harder than for any other special item.
No_Donate, No_Junk, and if you don't want them in containers, stop that.
If you do, they could maybe jump out, or if they resume their form
inside the bag, break it, if they resume form in someones inventory,
they fall to the ground. The inventory is like a container that doesn't
need a name, it's automatic. It's on your person in one form or
another.
Whoever does do this shapeshifting stuff, all's I can say is way to go,
for originality and role playing...
