[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9757999, member: 23751"] D&D is an exceptions based system. Things can't be done........until they can be. The only way I can fail is if the DM deliberately prevents me from being able to, invalidating my agency. It did before it was destroyed. I go back and get it. Which of those are D&D? None that I can see. Yes, it's true that OTHER games can have things that can't be undone. D&D just isn't one of those unless the DM goes out of his way to prevent a way from being discovered. It may be that bad rolls, an inability to come up with ideas, etc. might keep me from succeeding, but in an infinite cosmos with exceptions to everything out there somewhere, it's possible unless the DM removes player agency. There are spells in editions of D&D that do it to varying degrees. So out there somewhere is a time god, time titan or something new that can do it. Heck, this is in the Forgotten Realms. [URL unfurl="true"]https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Time_conduit[/URL] And this... "The Realms were home to at least five [I][URL='https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Time_gate']time gates[/URL][/I], permanent [I]portals[/I] that allowed for time travel" An exception to everything is out there somewhere.
