So, I have a 9th level Warlock who recently acquired a Cube of Force. This warlock also has the "Sculptor of Flesh" invocation that lets him cast Polymorph once a day.
I noticed that the effect of the Cube, once activated, is centered on you - not on the magic item. And one of the possible effects is a 15' cube (centered on you) that blocks non-living matter from passing through it.
So it occurred to me that if I activate that effect and then polymorph myself into a T-Rex (a Huge Creature) - the cube exactly covers my area, but my natural weapon attacks extend beyond it because of my reach.
In theory, I would be immune to attacks from weapons and projectiles until the Cube effect ends a minute later. Still vulnerable to spells and monks or animals, but against a group of weapon users it seems like it would be incredibly effective.
For added fun, cast Jump (via another invocation) before polymorphing, so you have a T-Rex behind glass leaping across the battlefield, crushing anything it lands on.
It feels like this shouldn't work, but I can't see any reason why it doesn't.
