A concept that requires you to both interpret the rules literally and then ignore the rules altogether in order to work.
If you interpret them literally, it does allow for FTL communication, but not railguns
The FTL travel has bugged me for a while. Time dilation can't be a thing if Demiplanes are accessible from anywhere at any time, and the speed of light must be instantaneous. Bothers me to no end
It doesn't. The rules are specifically different at different scales. Both for distances and times. For combat and out of combat.
For laboratory tests, we asked some monks to spar while passing the note short distances. Our understanding of quantum D&D is confined to small scales.
I want to take this as truth instead of abstraction and see the world as truly having different laws of physics in different circumstances.
Like, slap a person and see if time and space are altered.
Sending already allows FTL communication.
How do we know that there isn't speed of light delay in magic?
It would be in the rules of the spell
Exactly. The duration is one round, the distance is "any distance", and the target can reply immediately. If it had lightspeed delay then the distance would be limited to 3 lightseconds.
And do the exact same to physics and biology too. How fast are these peasants supposed to be moving?
