true

yeah makes it weirder that wall of thorns is the only conjured wall

well the real reason that tog is different that wall of stone is because it is made entirely of opaque magical force. The wall of stone is a physical object that doesn't need to be maintained by magic

yeah tog makes the effect permanent that is the wording of the spell

right

I would say it is a permanent effect of the magic not a magical effect. Magical effects can be dispelled.

I guess knowing spells that have long term dispellable effects and which long term effects can't be dispelled could be useful in a situation where a player needs to know if he can use dispel magic to alter his situation

I think if the question was reframed to specify spells where the magic energy persists it would adequately narrow the question but severely limit its value

permanent cantrip

exactly so mold earth, the spell ends the earth stays moved. the effect is permanent

I think if we take this semantic argument any further we will have to start debating metaphysics.

Yep and by that definition all of the instantaneous duration spells with effects that don't end like awaken should be removed from the list even though they are the most appropriate spells to be on the list because their effect is actually permanent.

mold earth and stone shape and a couple other spells that create rough terrain until cleared can be considered permanent by this interpretation

The problem is he asked for spells that have a duration of until dispelled. The spell awaken ends. It can't be dispelled because it is no longer a spell

Animate undead is the same way.

ok

If I found something that changed my opinion on an answer I gave what is the correct way to redact my original answer and post a new answer?

ok

So I was just reading a question that several people have talked about being too broad, and the asker reworded it some but I still find the question to be incredibly broad. Should I just leave it be and let the people who were talking about it 4 days ago worry about it, or should I flag it for still being too broad?

nifty

So I just noticed something that I got access to and I'm not sure what it is. What are review queues?

I really like that new definition for RAI

is there a way to get it to avoid redundancy or cut the run on sentences a little shorter?

lol 20 sided squares.

I have thought that since the first time I saw someone reference twitter as a legitimate source for justifying a rule.

Hack Jeremy Crawfords twitter and use random text vomit to make new rules and watch 5e implode. Or it will just be business as usual.

uh... is that for any choice or a specific choice?

why cant you just use a pdf of the phb?

It is like mad libs. I used to love those!

@MikeQ I think there might be a disturbance in the force there.

I am not a SQL expert by any stretch but as far as I can tell your code does what you want it to.

I tripped up a gm once in rifts by sneaking into a base and putting rocks in the intakes of their samas' and sky cycles then setting off the alarm, so when the soldiers responded they blew up all of their power armor.

Oh, It is basically the shark scene from finding nemo too.

@yuuki great finding nemo reference

Yeah I am going through ToA and when we got summoned to the Yuan-ti boss in the lost city, we just told him we wanted to stop the death curse and had no beef with him so we basically skipped an entire chapter of the book in one non combat encounter.

@DavidCoffron I don't know that much about how 5e budgets xp but I will tell you from my experience if you just add up how much they would get then remove a percentage based on how much you want to slow progression it is highly unlikely that any of them will notice or question your math. Unless you are playing a campaign they have done before then they might notice the slowdown.

ty

how do i make a spoiler box?

Ok so I just asked a question and the responses I am getting are confusing me. What is the difference between an attack of opportunity and attacking as a reaction?

@BESW maybe new D&D does my first ever magic item in ad&d was a cursed belt of giant strength that changed my characters gender.

@Rubiksmoose That is surprising I would expect it to be moderate work on average.

@Yuuki I think that would be Polisharms.

@BESW truth!

I just think of polearms as weapons that are composed of a pole and something else that hurts when swung or poked at the end of said pole

@BESW They said weapons that function like other weapons with thematic differences can just be swapped in with their lookalike. So a flail is a mace in the same way a nunchaku is a club.

An opera is like a play where they sing a lot

I dunno but I bet they are pretty knotty

sounds about right

Does anybody have any idea why in 5e a spear is not considered a polearm?

@Rubiksmoose consulting fee? You would be giving a competitor trade secrets. He better be paying royalties.
