Damaging Spells and Objects

[jgsugden]

Forest for the trees. Don't get caught up in th size of the alley, what is in the wagons, the wheel configuration of the wagons, the weather, etc...

Some DMs might not let a T-Rex destroy a wagon by walking on it in the turn it was cast. In a prior game, where my wizard polymorphed into a T-rex and walked on something similar, the DM said it was difficult terrain but said the stuff was smashed beneath my bulk.... 9 Tons.

The goal has not moved - discuss how you'd use magic to destroy a bunch of objects, like large wagons in an alley, with a spellcaster using RAW. Saying, "You can't", or "I'd allow X that the rules doesn't" is not what I was hoping to elicit in this conversation.

I would lob a fireball and watch 'em burn.

Why target the entire wagon? Why not target the axle or pin that holds the wheels in place and let gravity work for you?

So you'd consider them flammable, then? Still, they will take several rounds to burn, even if they take d10 per round.
