Rework the answer to account for clarifications in the question

But perhaps you'll see some way it's useful that I didn't. (I kept looking for one of those diagrams that has 5' squares shaded, but never found one. It must be a visual memory from 3.5.) | |

| Jan 10, 2017 at 12:59 | comment | added | nitsua60 | I also wonder if there's any benefit to citing the illustration on PHB p.204? I'm not crazy about relying on an artist's interpretation of the rules, but it might argue for the cone being a surface of revolution, and the length being measured along the lateral surface.... | |
