Fun/Useful Fact: Canonically Tiny Hut does have a floor and this is clarified in Sage Advice.

[@Schmeethe88]

The caster also passes through it like there's nothing there, and upon leaving the hut, the spell ends. It couldn't catch him anyway.

[@ExtraXBanana]

​@@Schmeethe88even better even if the hit stopped him he'd still take damage hitting the hit and after falling for a minute that's easily gonna be 20d6, but 5e caps fall damage at 20d6 so it's the exact same damage as if he fell the whole way to the ground.

[@TrixyTrixter]

One sage advice I do believe in, it would be weird for it to somehow make the area comfortable if It didn't have a floor.

[@flamesofhellstudio]

If the wording specifically says "around AND above you" that implies that below you is not included in that. Sage Advice should be renamed to bad advice.

[@Kevinx6]

​@flamesofhellstudio the area it creates is also specified in the range as a hemisphere. Which, for the sage advice, he recognizes is very different from a dome because it closes it in as a half sphere and not just a bottomless dome. However, as pointed out, he would still freely pass through it even though it has a floor lol

[@lordandrak]

he'd be casting the dome from himself as the source, it is'nt projected and it has a 10 ft radious ... so crunch. The issue is actually critical in the next lines of the spell. Creatures and objects⁠ within the dome when you cast this spell can move through it freely. All other creatures and objects⁠ are barred from passing through it. Spells and other magical effects can't extend through the dome or be cast through it. ... aka he would fall through his own dome. the one counter he might have is he had mage armour of a similar magical effect on him ... would that prevent him from passing through the magical dome. DMs call / rule of cool.

To be fair if you plan it out you can alter the direction of a spell like in normal games you can make it so the Dome is slanted against a rock wall or something so saying it upside down also works though… if I remember right you can still pass through the dome

[@houndoomdude2]

To get really technical about it, not only do you pass through the dome but it also specifies that it appears “around and above you” which would hilariously make the wording of this one spell specifically preclude you from changing the dome’s orientation.

​@@WallySketch1. When you're falling, "above" is relative. 2. It says you CAN pass right through it, not that you WILL necessarily.

[@TrixyTrixter]

@@nessesaryschoolthing You cannot choose not to pass through it. Nowhere in the spell does it say you can choose just that you can pass through it to differentiate those who were inside form those outside who explicitly cannot pass through it.

[@WallySketch]

@@nessesaryschoolthing 1. Above (wiki) : In or to a higher place; higher than; on or over the upper surface. 2. A spell only does what is described, nothing more. Tiny hut is not solid for those who were inside when the spell was casted because it's stated that only those outside can't go in, not the other way around. It also fades as soon as the caster leaves its space.

When the dm used the ruler-lawyer card on you, you know you did something questionably epic

[@MEL0_YT]

If it just summons a dome, he should still take fall damage, AND if the DM said "terminal veliocity" and the dome is passable from inside, which means that he'd fall right through it and he casted it under him normal orientation and didn't take fall damage it's still 10 ft (3m) in diameter and he would as an old man likely slip down and continue the fall and by the way if he reached terminal veliocity in about 50 seconds (in podcast) and assuming he has around 194 pounds falling from 4 km he would fall to ground in around 125 seconds meaning that if he stated he wants to cast the first "hut" (and as shown here the spell is used and wasted) in about 55 seconds from missing the target while casting it takes 60s each he couldn't finnish casting the second one by 40 seconds even if he would start casting it instantly after the first.
