[QUOTE="werecorpse, post: 7050331, member: 55491"] I understood that in previous editions the hut solely made a comfortable place to sleep, keeping out inclement weather and providing some concealment so you could light a fire and it wouldn't be a glowing beacon a la Weathertop from fellowship of the ring. It made it easier to rest without attracting attention and you could rest more comfortably, relearn spells etc (which in ad&d & prior editions required a comfortable environment to study your spell book) it didn't prevent random encounters from attacking - including entering the hut etc. The wizard had to stay put or the spell would end but others could go in and put (get firewood, hunt etc) and have a decent place to return to. It didn't (and IMO wasn't intended to) keep out random encounters. The additional rule in 5e that didn't exist in 3e or previous editions iirc (I didn't play 4e so don't know) is the sentence "All other creatures and objects are barred from passing through it." That rule turns a spell that's meant to be a comfortable place to sleep & study your spell book, with a bit of concealment into some sort of force barrier type spell with tactical implications - given its a ritual spell so cast at no cost that's an error IMO and that line should be removed. edit: at least that's how we played it in 1e - 3e [/QUOTE]
