Posted Aug 1, 2025What happens if you cast it in a direction that hits a wall before 100 feet? Earlier editions had rules for the remainder bouncing back towards you. This is bad if it macks it to you, but good because it can hit the same target(s) on its way back.

Posted Aug 4, 2025Nothing. Spells with an Area of Effect stop when they encounter an obstruction that provides Total Cover, unless the spell explicitly says otherwise.

Posted Aug 5, 2025Thanks. It was probably a good rule change overall. There were some fun timees every now and then doing it the old way, but the new way has a side benefit of what happens when a caster miscalcutates the area of effect, and then sees it applied by the DM.
