This is a supremely silly thread and I am enjoying it greatly. Thanks for catalysing these cool discussions OP.

Steels my resolve in pushing my group past 5e

Happy to be of service. Arguing over RAU (Rules As Unintended) is very fun at times.

Usually not when actually playing, though sometimes it can be. For example, by RAU, if you cast Imprisonment (Slumber) on an elf, they'll be immune to the part that makes them sleep, but still get immunity to aging and hunger. It's not OP for a ninth-level spell, and it has interesting worldbuilding implications, so you can just run with it.

As hilarious as that is, are you sure that being immune to the form of imprisonment doesn’t just make the spell fail?

What would happen if the disintegrate spell targeted a creature or object but a wall of force existed between them? I'm guessing it would just destroy the wall and then continue onward to the target?

[–] Archpawn@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

If they don't have total cover, they're hit. Nothing says that disintegrate needs line of sight. If they do have total cover, they can't be targeted.

Not going to lie. People who argue for rules like Jesse in the meme, makes me not want to play D&D.

Personally I used to love it, if the DM did that it inspired players to play; usually whoever had theage would say something like I can't destroy what I can't see and the the fun starts... Someone throws flour from their pack at it (or dirt, oil, something to make the invisible object visable in another way).

I haven't played in over 20 years so I'm sure it's changed a lot but that kind of stuff was fun to me.

I understand where you are coming from, but it think there are plenty of opportunities for improvisation and creative solutions without the need to start splitting hairs about specific wording.
