Rules
Disclaimer These rules are copied directly from r/DnDMemes and will be adapted to Lemmy shortly.
Rule 1. Be Excellent to One Another: No trolling, harassment, personal attacks, sea-lioning, hate speech, slurs, or name-calling. Overly off-topic, political, or hateful debates will be removed, and bans may be issued based on severity. This includes both posts and comments. We reserve the right to remove content or comments that contain discrimination or distasteful content. Be kind and stay on topic.
Rule 2. No Reposts: Posts must not have been posted in !DnDMemes before. Reports with direct links to the original post will greatly expedite their removal process. Reposts from other subreddits are allowed, but once a meme is posted to !DnDMemes, it will forever after be considered a repost.
Rule 3. Post Style Guide: Posts must be strongly relevant to D&D (or other TTRPGs) and must include an attempt at humor or entertainment. Posts must be legible, understandable for a general audience and have some effort put into them, including titles. Video posts may be up to 3 minutes long, and they must be humorous in nature. Only one meme is allowed per post; posts with multiple images inside of them, such as a collage, will be removed. Posts must not rely solely on the title to relate to D&D.
Rule 4. No Advertising: Meme culture is non-profit. No links to stores, fundraising/payment sites, or comments asking for money/followers. Social media handles or website watermarks on original content are acceptable, unless these are monetized, and self promotion of one’s own social media should be limited to once per week. Accounts whose sole purpose are to push products, whether legitimately or fraudulently, will be permanently banned and their content removed.
Rule 5. No Piracy: Do not share or request pirated content. No linking, hinting at, or naming hosts of illicit non-SRD D&D content. You are allowed to copy-paste relevant rules or sections from sources, but large blocks of text may be removed.
Rule 6. No Beating a Dead Horse: Moderators may step in to issue a 3 month prohibition on certain meme topics and formats. The requirements for placing a topic on hiatus are 1. The topic has been prominent on the front page for at least 3 days or 2. The debate topic is toxic in nature. Certain historically overdone themes or formats may be retired permanently at moderator discretion/per user poll. Please see the current list.
The rules listed above are not exhaustive and decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. Such decisions can be appealed in mod mail, and the mods will do their best to come to a productive resolution. All "borderline" mod decisions are the product of informed and objective internal discussion. We welcome feedback on our rules and are always seeking to improve them for better clarity and creating a friendly, social environment here at !DnDMemes.

Inversing this gets really fun: enlarge spell on a tungsten/mithril bearing or toothpick. Pack enough charge to fire it out of an actual piece of siege equipment, hello nearly relativistic projectiles. Ship or battlement mounted rods from God.
"We strategically position our ship to ensure the flight path of the projectile happens in 6 second intervals, allowing for a near perfect rhythm of enlarge chanting. We keep three wizards and a wild magic sorcerer near each of our cannons.
We don't lose fights often, no, why do you ask?"
Unfortunately after a single fire the force tosses the ship onto its side and is sinking
Firing even a 42lb cannon wouldn't capsize a decently large ship. A 42lb projectile at 1700 ft/s carries like 425 million joules of energy. Then shrink that mass down from 42lbs to 0.5 lbs and let conservation of energy multiply the and whatever is in its flight path is going to have a really bad day. Like a "half a pound traveling at 0.6% of C" level of bad day.
With magic metals like mithril you can probably make a siege cannon of at least double the poundage. Modulate the load and use a tungsten wire instead of a toothpick, and you make a plasma weapon. You would need wizards dedicated to calculating the firing solutions to ensure you don't miss your shots. Einstein would be the deadliest mother fucker on the Sword Coast.
Well, the cannon only needs to produce enough force to move a tiny cannon ball really fast.
The 6 second interval is to match the in game fight sequences, implying that the enlarge spell would finish casting as it impacts the enemy ship. All of that momentum suddenly comes to a grinding halt as the weight suddenly changes and the cannon ball rips the enemy ship to shreds
