[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 8027999, member: 6788736"] No, if the intent was for the Canon to be targeted by spells that target creatures, they would have made the canon a creature (construct) instead of an object, or included a rule that it can be targeted as if it were a creature (despite being an object). Like (for example) the constructs created by [I]animate objects [/I]does. It specifically turns objects into creatures (constructs) that are capable of being targeted with spells and effects that target creatures. Yes, you can target objects, creatures and magical force effects with disintegrate. You cant target [I][U]magic [/U][/I]objects though. The text of the spell specifically rules them immune. No, the disintegrate spell [B]expressly [/B]does not affect magic objects. The canon is [B]expressly [/B]a magic object. It is not affected by disintegrate. For an AoE spell that affects magic [U]objects [/U]look at [I]Meteor Swarm:[/I] [EXCERPT]Blazing orbs of fire plummet to the ground at four different points you can see within range. Each creature in a 40-foot-radius [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Spells#h-Sphere']Sphere[/URL] centered on each point you choose must make a [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Ability%20Scores#h-Dexterity']Dexterity[/URL] saving throw. The [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Spells#h-Sphere']Sphere[/URL] spreads around corners. A creature takes 20d6 fire damage and 20d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature in the area of more than one fiery burst is affected only once. [B][U]The spell damages [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Objects#h-Objects']Objects[/URL] in the area[/U][/B] and ignites flammable [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Objects#h-Objects']Objects[/URL] that aren't being worn or carried.
