There is not a single word in the rules, nor in any Sage Advice or Errata that backs this up.The second is clearly what it should be
So, "within a 5' radius" of a castle won't include someone touching the castle?There is not a single word in the rules, nor in any Sage Advice or Errata that backs this up.
Sure there is:There is not a single word in the rules, nor in any Sage Advice or Errata that backs this up.
Not a point on the creature or within the creature or object. The point of origin IS the creature or object. And that's exactly what we've got with spirit guardians.PHB p. 204 said:A spell’s description specifies its area of effect, which typically has one of five different shapes: cone, cube, cylinder, line, or sphere. Every area of effect has a point of origin, a location from which the spell’s energy erupts. The rules for each shape specify how you position its point of origin. Typically, a point of origin is a point in space, but some spells have an area whose origin is a creature or an object.
A point does not have a width or length by definition.Sure there is:

Exactly!I hate this so much. I wish it was less ambiguous.
"Range: Self (15-foot radius)" looks like it says a 15-foot radius/30-foot diameter effect centered on you (range self), not defined as extending 15 feet from the edge of the square you control.
Not when "radius" is defined as a circle around a point of origin that needs to be on a grid intersection. Then it's just a small 10' diameter circle somewhere inside or at the edge of the castle.So, "within a 5' radius" of a castle won't include someone touching the castle?
