[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8832686, member: 2629"] #1: In the end, the answer is always "ask the DM". #2: I went back to the PHB and I see this text: A point is not a whole 5' cube, or the space of a large creature - it is a tiny little location within a 3 dimensional space from which you can measure out. [I]Technically[/I], RAW, you pick a point in the square(s) of the caster and then measure out 15 feet from there. It would seem that the point remains in the same location relative to the caster. Note that if you pick the exact center of the center square that a 5' caster occupies, then which squares are impacted are governed by the optional rules you use for determine effect. If it is just the ones that are more than 50% covered, it is one shape. If it is any square that is covered at all, it is another. As a DM, I don't like that we're focused on fine measurements is a situation that would be far more dynamic in real life. So, in a situation like this one, I tend to answer the question of, "are they in the radius" with, "They're just near the edge. I'll call them in, but they get advantage on the save." [/QUOTE]
