So, I had plenty of time to poor over the D&D 5th Starter Rules and Basic Rules pdf while traveling to an ASME conference this past week (important background on why I'm asking a math question ) and plotting a game for my kids. The only nit I had was in the dimensions of Blade Barrier. As stated in the basic rules, you can either make a linear wall of 100 ft by 20 ft (5 ft thick), or a cylindrical shell of 60ft diameter. Isn't that cylinder roughly 2x the surface area of the linear wall? (since circumference = pi*diameter)
I'll probably rule it to be a 30' shell in my games (seems fair for a 6th level spell). Unless there's a good reason I'm missing for the cylindrical area to cover a lot more real estate than the wall.
My apologies for worrying about a minor math nit... I blame the conference
