@DavidCoffron "DMG (p.251) states that a creature is affected by a spells effects if half, or more, of the square they're in is in the Area of Effect."
In Volo's Guide to Monsters, bugbears have the ability Long-Limbed:
Long-Limbed. When you make a melee attack on your turn, your reach for it is 5 feet greater than normal.
This ability doesn't specify weapon or spell so I assumed it could be applied to melee spell attacks as well as melee ...
@DavidCoffron Alright, we're on the same page then - an odd edge case came up in last nights session. 15ft cone attempting to hit an enemy to the North and East - it can only be done if you fire from the SW corner at an exact 45 degree angle which requires hitting your own square
@DavidCoffron You have 2 arms. So, conceivably, with Spare the Dying, and the Death Domain for Clerics: " When you cast a necromancy cantrip that normally targets only one creature, the spell can instead target two creatures within range and within 5 feet of each other," you could Spare 2 people?
Ok... I'm having a mind blank... there was a game where you were a little robot, and you had to collect things to solve puzzles to work your way back to your girlfriend...
