Have a command for the character to act as a given monster would on that turn, without ending the script.
Have an option to add/remove a character to/from the monster count for door working.

So...Turn to Monster for 1 turn? I don't know if this would work, for the same reason that using Turn to Monster ends the script.
Have an option to add/remove a character to/from the monster count for door working.
I think that this would be unpopular with players because you couldn't know which character/monster would count or not.

Game on,

Well, it'd just be saying 'act as if you were, without actually turning into'.

This has been mentioned here (by me, actually), except that I suggested that a character can turn into any monster. It would be an interesting idea, but possibly a bad one.
