[QUOTE="DragonLancer, post: 9836005, member: 11868"] Apologies if this seems like a really silly question but I want to make sure that I am getting the follow correct. In one of my two 2024 campaigns, one of the players is a big fan of using Cloud of Daggers as battlefield control. It's a great spell and they use it well. It does however, have a option that some of us are not sure about. [I]"On your later turns, you can take a [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules/rules-glossary#MagicAction']Magic[/URL] action to teleport the Cube up to 30 feet."[/I] The player in question has used this to teleport the cube around corners out of sight. Not far but along the lines of "We know it's a corridor around the corner, so I can move there even though I haven't seen it." So far we've gone with that. However one of the players isn't happy with that interpretation. He points to the wording in the Teleport spell: [I]"The destination you choose must be known to you, and it must be on the same plane of existence as you."[/I] He thinks because it uses the phrase Teleport it would follow the same logic, but I can't see anything in the 2024 rules that supports that - although I admit I may have just missed it. I want to get this right. Not just for this campaign but for 5th edition in general. So, what you allow the teleporting of the Cloud of Daggers around a corner out of sight? Is there something in the general rules that would say you must know where it is being teleported? Just so I can clarify and give a definite answer. Thanks for your help and advice. [/QUOTE]
