How Big is the Miniature Star


Rules Questions


Clarification:
- How big is the Miniature Star (Zenith Revelation) made by Solarions?
Pg 107 "The star is a 10-foot-radius sphere that fills your square (or one square of your space, if you’re larger than Medium) and all squares within 5 feet of that space."

1) I assume that the "space" in the last part of the statement refers to the space you occupy.

2) If you were to stand on the closest square to the point of origin of this effect (assuming it originates from a grid intersection), there should still be a diagonal square that isn't under the effects of a "10 foot radius sphere" but is "within 5 ft of" your square, so does the sphere fill to occupy that square as well? (Pg 269 - 10 foot radius diagram.

3) I assume that the star is meant to be restricted around your square. I interpret the "5 ft of that space" and "your square" as requirements of where you should place the 10 ft radius sphere. However, the 10 ft radius cannot cover all the squares that are specified.

4) To make matters worse, it says "At 17th level, you can create your star simulacrum as a 15-foot-radius sphere that affects your square and all squares within 10 feet of that space (a total of 21 squares)." and I can't figure out how it'll only affect 21 squares.

5) Diagram for some help

W = square where you are in. X = area covered by the 10 ft radius sphere centered around the grid intersection (as per Pg 268), N = an area within 5 ft of your square but not within the 10 ft radius sphere.


Ignore the radii given, this revelation is fully defined by "fills your square and all squares within 5ft of it".

It assumes that rather than the sphere being centered on a grid intersection it is centered on your square and radiates out 5 or 10ft in all directions.

See below for scenario #4 described in your post (U is person, x is affected squares):

o x x x o
x x x x x
x x U x x
x x x x x
o x x x o

Before level 17, it instead fills:
