    Leomund’s Tiny Hut

    I play Pathfinder, so this is a new one to me. Am I understanding this right? It’s a bubble shield, with no weaknesses, that lasts 8 hours, that nothing can get inside (not even if it were covered in lava), but objects and characters can freely pass out of? So, does that mean people inside can use ranged attacks all they want, without anything being able to attack them? And this is a level three spell?!

    Yea, that seems crazy broken.

    Edit: Now I see why I haven’t heard of it even though it’s also in Pathfinder, it is WAY toned down in PF. DnDs version is insane.

      It’s also a ritual spell, so it does not even cost a spell slot of you have extra time, and wizards don’t need to prepare spells to cast them as rituals.

      It’s basically “Yeah this is a safe camp spot for a long rest”.

      It’s vulnerable to dispelling, and I’d argue anything else that Wall of Force is also vulnerable to, i.e. Disintegrate.

      Still busted, but it’s not immortal.

      And yes, rules as written you can fire arrows through it so long as those arrows are inside the area of the Hut when you cast it.

      There’s an argument that ghosts can pop up from underneath it. The exact wording is “around and above you”; it doesn’t specify below.

      I played a game once where this issue popped up, and the ultimate decision of the DM was that it does block from below as well. Which I think is a reasonable take of the intent of the spell, but a more rules lawyery DM could say otherwise.
