Nor does it have to be. That's your game.

I was replying to: and yes, I think, and agree that this would happen if the things hit either the flat or the edge of the wall. I just don't agree, in a context of a significant impact, that "It is not cut or damaged in any way."

As far as the Freedom of Movement spell is concerned the effect describes that "being underwater imposes no penalties on the target’s movement or attacks". But they are given the penalty that they are denied the freedom from gravity that swimming normally affords.

I respect your view. My view is that as long as everyone feels that adjudication is handled reasonably then a few approaches can work. As well as the goal of making things meaningful and fun for the players, I'd also hope to keep things real in regard to characterization. If I thought a...

I'm not sure if weight is ever a 5e consideration RAW but that makes clear real-world sense. D&D also rarely gives weights for creatures but some of its offerings seem on the light side. For instance, I'd previously noted that its ogres, statistically, would be relatively skinny. Anyway...

in D&D? We all might think that there'd be a multiple to the damage received when hitting a non-flat surface but here's at least one case where that doesn't happen.

To be fair the full quote was: then, responding to a different text: The player has established much of what their character is doing: smashing the vase. My disagreement with Lanefan is in the interpretation that the character is acting without forethought, whereas I'd suggest that it could...

I don't see that mathematics in 5e would have to work to that extent. A mammoth (with lots of hp) and a squirrel (with 1 hp) both falling 50 feet would both sustain 5d6 damage - but, in reality, the squirrel might survive while the mammoth would splat. A dragon at dash speed is only moving a...

That's not in the spell's description: Things hitting the wall certainly stop dead, but I'd think that this is because they hit a wall.

The 5e version is more realistic. It's fine to run a spell unrealistically and go by a RAW description, but if you're just imagining flame within air, unless you are going past the temperatures of our extremely fueled (I won't go into details) fire, that's not how it works. I'm happy too -...

When I was in my teens we had a house fire that lit up all the 80's polystyrene hallway ceiling tiles and near completely filled the stairway with flames. With familiarity with the steps, I ran down through the flame and, despite having my hair singed and eyelashes shortened, I remained fine...

RAW, I'm not sure how much, to a creature, damage that would do. Adult dragons have, at least typically, a fly speed of 80ft. Dash would make that 160ft. Feather fall, at 60 ft per round (10ft/s) negates damage. In real life, a 10 ft fall results in an impact velocity of 25.367 ft/s (150 ft...

Absolutely, but my reservations would be if the player-stated actions didn't fit with the player-created character and previous characterisation. In this case, it's the character that looks and might have a chance to gain information by looking. It's the player/GM interaction that has, for...

There are potentially a lot of variables. On what allegations? On what evidence? What happened in the time between the crime and the charges being made? It's also complicated that the jury could be in trouble for taking bribes. The bribing may be investigated and, at best, an inquiry may be...

Yeah, it's been ceded but could optionally be given back. The vase is effectively being reduced to 0 hp and a "how do you do this?" question is still an option costing time.. but potentially allowing player flavour...
