Depends on what kind of game your group is playing. If it veers toward simulationist (where the group cares about rations and encumbrance), then no -- if heroic fantasy, sure.

We had session zero today, 8 players showed up. We had a few PHBs but found it easier to let new players create characters on DNDBeyond. We were sticking with 2014 as that's what a couple people had for PHB, but one of the newbies made a 2024 Ranger, but I let him stick with it, thinking it...

The 2014 spell says: "Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against...
