So how tiny is Leomund's Tiny Hut?

[Munin]

The spell description says it's a 20' radius centered on you, making it 40' across if I understand it correctly.

That's not tiny. That's pretty frickin large.

The reason I ask is the DM in my group told me last night that I couldn't cast the spell in a forest because I didn't have an open space large enough to place the hut.

It's really not so much the *size* of the hut, but rather how you use it.

the description in the SRD for Tiny Hut is pretty much self explanatory. you just create a force area. things inside the area will be inside the hut. doesn't mean you create furniture and such. just a place to protect you from the elements pretty much.

I understand that it's a force effect, not a real edifice. What I'm trying to get a handle on is how much control I can exert over the dimensions of the spell as far as it's area of affect.
The DM has ruled that it is basically a 40' circle, which is huge, and doesn't seem to fit the feel of the spell too well. I'd like to challenge that ruling, but I need a little more info.

Half the sphere projects above the ground, and the lower hemisphere passes through the ground.

If it passes through the ground, why wouldn't it pass through trees?

Big like tree. Smart like rock.
