| Aug 25, 2023 at 14:58 | comment | added | Dave | @Kryomaani my question is beyond adjudicating "who is affected" than it is about "what exactly is the effect" on a creature that is partially within the AoE of Faerie Fire. | |
| Aug 25, 2023 at 14:50 | comment | added | Kryomaani | Does this answer your question? Does an aura affect all creatures including ones only partially in the aura? | |

| Aug 19, 2022 at 15:48 | comment | added | Dave | @SeriousBri to me that seems clear. The spell wording is "a creature affected by the spell" (or similar). Partially lit => affected => advantage. It doesn't say "completely affected" or some such; though I think that is more about the writer not considering this edge (ha!) case. | |
| Aug 19, 2022 at 15:46 | comment | added | SeriousBri | This raises the interesting question of, would you get advantage to attack something of only the leg was lit up with faerie fire? | |

| Aug 19, 2022 at 15:23 | comment | added | Dave | If the whole object lights up, I could make a signal wire -- long (100'+) wire from point A to point B. Caster at point A casts Faerie Fire, signal shows up at point B instantaneously. | |
| Aug 19, 2022 at 15:21 | comment | added | Dave | There is also a Faerie Fire specific aspect in that the spell description implies a 20' area of effect, but if objects that extend outside that area are effected and completely light up, then the effects of the spell might extend outside that area. | |
| Aug 19, 2022 at 15:19 | comment | added | Dave | @ThomasMarkov -- I'm more worried about objects/creatures with significant extension, that question is about entities that occupy a single 5' square. Is there something in the rules that unambiguously says something like "if any part of a huge creature (object) is inside the area of effect of a spell, the creature is subject to the effects of that spell"?, or more like the answer there, "if any part of any square occupied by the huge creature(object) is more than 1/2 covered by the area of effect..." stuff like that. | |
| Aug 19, 2022 at 15:15 | comment | added | Thomas Markov | @Dave I think I've found a suitable duplicate, about a different area of effect feature. It should answer your question here, at least, to the extent that either question is answerable at all. The rules dont seem to speak very clearly to this issue, as explained in the answer there. | |

| Aug 19, 2022 at 15:13 | comment | added | Dave | @ThomasMarkov I don't typically play that way, but addressing both cases would make for a more complete answer. | |
| Aug 19, 2022 at 15:06 | comment | added | Thomas Markov | Are you using the grid rules? | |
