Etherealness and You

[Lotus]

House Rule, effective now:

If you're ethereal, you are not allowed to use spells that effect enemies or party members unless those enemies / party members are also ethereal or the action breaks your etherealness. You are not allowed to cast summons while ethereal.

Why?

An ethereal creature can’t affect the Material Plane, not even magically.

That's why.

Go forth and play nice. Violators will be punished severely. Be well!

You can attack while Ethereal though right, since it makes you corporeal? Basically you ending your spell.

Yep. I'll throw an edit up there: if the hostile action breaks etherealness, it's A-okay.
