It does what it's told.

Why do you look for excuses for claims that a spell doesn't do what it says?

Yes. "Once you give the command, the servant performs the task to the best of its ability"

A human spell caster is bound by what human servants can do. Most casters will be hampered by the servants' dawdling speeds of 20 ft. It's just that they might not be able to keep up with aarakocra and tritons in additional ways.

Would they? Even if they did they can cast the spell and the GM will dictate what happens. The rules say that "The servant can perform simple tasks that a human servant could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring wine."

They are all aged 53 and 6 .5 days, old for a human and young for an elf.

D&D magic does as D&D magic does. Perhaps it conforms to logic and/or physics, perhaps not. But I see no reason why, say, a magical fire might not share various properties with a natural physical fire. In their games, GMs and players can extrapolate to the extent that gives them satisfaction.

Who knows? All we know is that "The servant can perform simple tasks that a human servant could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring wine", and, in addition to pouring wine, if it could also tread the grapes then, yes, it can...

We'd covered wider issues than this. You'd said: to which I responded. A DM might consider, for instance, whether even a thick sheet of glass would impede the radiant energy of guiding bolt or whether an immediately intervening sheet of wood might impede the (the potentially sonically...

I'd suspected that they were a more sore sorlock. 🙃

I've got reference for the first bit. Blindsight fine but: My favourite spoof d&d spell has long been Find Feet - but, in regard to a person who is moving about, Tremorsense can be interpreted to do no more than that. I'd personally consider that this would help most with spells/activities...

(y) Which is a golden approach to any interpretation of rules as intended. What we have is rules as written (optional as that is) but we do our best with our reasoned takes. When considering the view of an obstacle as "a thing that is capable of blocking or hindering ...", considerations...

Damn, I missed one.

the image, the refracted image, the reflected image... at its most basic level, there is only one phenomenon, and that's light. Light, from a subject, has either been emitted or reflected from that subject and, that light, by whatever subsequent route it takes (perhaps straightforwardly through...
