[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 6926224, member: 6775031"] 1) No magic can pass [I]through[/I] a [I]forcecage[/I]. By creating the effect with bars, rather than as a windowless cage, he could fire spells [I]out of[/I] the cage without going [I]through[/I] it. This functionality was clearly stated in the 3E version of the spell, but it might be hidden in the natural language of the 5E version, so I understand how you might reasonably rule otherwise. 2) Your basic level 20 [I]barbarian[/I] will have +13 to hit, and we should probably assume that they won't engage the Tarrasque if they don't have a magic weapon, so we might as well bump that up to +14. In any case, the "restrained" condition is kind of a joke, in that it only imposes Disadvantage to the attack roll (which doesn't stack with the Disadvantage from being blinded); and both of those instances of Disadvantage are negated by the barbarian's Reckless Attack, which they can use with impunity since nobody is there to make attack rolls against them. And there's nothing about being inside of a Tarrasque that make [I]bless[/I] stop working, unless the Paladin fails their concentration check. At 28 damage per round to a [I]raging[/I] barbarian, they could have stayed in there for over a minute before they'd need to start making rolls in order to stay alive with 1hp instead of dying. It did get pretty close, after the paladin joined the barbarian in there, but by that point the fight was nearly over. [/QUOTE]
