The Booming Blade cantrip's secondary effect states that "[the target] becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves before then, it immediately takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends". We can deduce, then:   That the damage does not trigger when the target is dragged or pushed around via physical means (grappling, shoving, scenario effects, etc.) That the damage does not trigger when the target is dragged or pushed around via magical means (Gust, Eldritch Blast with Grasp of Hadar, Graviturgist's Gravity Well, etc.)   This seems pretty clear. However, what happens when the following cases arise?   The target is ordered to move via the use of Command (assuming they don't know yet that the thunderous aura is damaging). The target is forced to move via the use of Compulsion. The target is invited to move via the use of Suggestion. The target is Turned. The target is Frightened and forced to run via Dissonant Whispers. The target has a Geas that prohibits them from ending a turn next to an enemy if they can avoid it. The target is threatened into leaving the area or else. This one seems "willingly", but are they truly willing if they are panicking because you are telling them you will cut their heads off if they don't run?    seems to suggest that forcing people to move via mind control spells doesn't count as willing. However, , so I was looking for something more solid to make a RAW judgement of this interaction.
So this is something I just found out about that I find odd:   Opportunity attacks—trigger off of movement that uses the creatures movement (action, move action, bonus action, reaction.)  Sentinel—Whenever a creature within 5 ft of you makes an attack at a creature other than you.   Booming blade—If the target willingly moves.   Mental Prison spell—if it moves, attacks through it, or reaches any part of body out of it.   So the “willingly” is different than other rulings for how effects related to movement works. However what exactly fits willing?   Cause fear—nope magic is having them move. Dissonant whispers—same thing. They have to immediately move.   So the creature has to want to move completely of its own accord.   Crown of Madness—Humanoid creature you choose must make a wisdom saving throw. On a fail it is charmed by you. (Next is flavor text so skipping.) While charmed in this way the target must make an attack on a creature other than itself that you mentally choose on each of its turns before moving.  It can act normally if you choose no creature or if none are within reach.   Crown of madness isn't making them move but doesnt specifically say willing.  And if the ruling for willing is movement not caused by magic what about magic causing situations where you take damage if you don't move. Would a creature shimmering with evocation energy be spared because he moved out of the magical blender that is cloud of daggers? If no, then what is the go-to rule for willing movement that I should be using?  In short, what movement counts as willing, and where can it be found? Is moving out of obvious danger caused by magic, willing? Is moving away from an ally so you don't hit them, willing?   If there isn't any actual ruling on willing, that's fine; I'll go back to running it with my interpretation, so that it has same wording as AOO. If there is an actual 5e term or explanation for willing (that isn't Sage Advice), please let me know. I just don't see why it was necessary to put a term in the spell that isn't used anywhere else. I understand it could have been overlooked since it was in a splatbook or has just been ignored since most people probably assume that there is "Forced " and "Willing" movement, with the willing being defined as: any movement from an action, move action, bonus action, or reaction. In same way AOO work.
Can a curve object modifier created geometry be used as boolean factor This question is related to .  Let me use an exemple to illustrate what I mean.  We've created a text object (made of curves). It can't be used in a boolean modifier as it won't appear in the list of usable objects in the modifier because it's a curve object.  But if we add a remesh modifier on the text, geometry is created from the shape.  The object could be used as boolean if we convert it to mesh. The remesh can't be applied on curve object.  My question is : Can we dynamicaly use the remesh modifier created geometry as real geometry or make the boolean modifier consider the text modified object as a real mesh?  The idea behind this is to be able to change the text (or any curve 3D shape) without having to make it a real mesh.  (don't hesitate to edit my poor english to make it understandable :) ) Beamer, page/frame numbers, buttons and Appendix slides Is there a way to force the Nikon D40's rear LCD panel to stay off?

I want to create a math problem-solution sheet. The coefficients a, b, c must be assigned on the fly at random so the generated pdf will show a numeric quadratic equation rather than a symbolic quadratic equation. Note a must not be zero.  \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \section{Problem} Let \(x_1\) and \(x_2\) be the roots of \(a x^2 +bx +c=0\). Find  \(x_1x_2\).  \section{Solution} \[ x_1x_2=\frac{c}{a} \] \end{document}   Please kindly make the solution get automatically simplified. For example: \frac{c}{a}=3 when a=2 and c=6.    Actually the real case is more complex than this one. Not only the equations must be generated at random, but also the associated graphic plots that I write in PSTricks.     I chose Paulo's answer because using Maxima as the computation engine is very very great idea. Other answers are also good and creative, especially Altermundus'. Pivot in sql server Customise date-time format in Windows Is it possible to customize data (or date-time) format in Windows (I am using Windows&nbsp;XP)?  The current format which is followed by the OS [to show date-modified, etc.] is MM/DD/YYYY or M/D/YYYY, whereas I have been comfortable with DD/MM/YYYY or D/M/YYYY format. I am finding it hard to refer Date-modified [which I use often] of files and folders. What documentation is needed for a tourist to drive a US citizen's car? I would like to solve the beginner's standard exercise which claims that a point of $\mathrm{Spec} \ R$ is closed iff it is a maximal ideal.  The reverse implication is easy. The direct one seems much subtler. If $P = V(I)$ then, since there exist a maximal ideal $M$ containing $P$, it would follow that $\{P, M\} \subseteq V(I) = P$, whence $P=M$. In order to show the existence of $M$ I applied Zorn's lemma to the set of ideals containing $P$.  The question is the following: is there any other proof of the above implication that does not (indirectly) use the axiom of choice? My concern is that I may be using a cannon to shoot a fly. Also, it would be the first time that I see closedness of points to require the axiom of choice. If the axiom is indeed needed in general, are there "nice" classes of rings for which we could get away without it? Limit of a particular variety of infinite product/series These days, the standard way to present differential calculus is by introducing the Cauchy-Weierstrass definition of the limit. One then defines the derivative as a limit, proves results like the Leibniz and chain rules, and uses this machinery to differentiate some simple functions such as polynomials. The purpose of my question is to see what creative alternatives people can describe to this approach. The nature of the question is that there is not going to be a single best answer. I have several methods that I've collected which I'll put in as answers to my own question.  It's not reasonable to expect answers to include an entire introductory textbook treatment of differentiation, nor would anyone want to read answers that were that lengthy. A sketch is fine. Lack of rigor is fine. Well known notation and terminology can be assumed. It would be nice to develop things to the point where one can differentiate a polynomial, since that would help to illustrate how your method works and demonstrate that it's usable. For this purpose, it suffices to prove that if $n&gt;0$ is an integer, the derivative of $x^n$ equals $0$ at $0$ and equals $n$ at $1$; the result at other nonzero values of $x$ follows by scaling. Doing this for $n=2$ is fine if the generalization to $n&gt;2$ is obvious. New phone: How to transfer game progress? says the following:     Saving an OS can be achieved by running sudo grub-set-default if   DEFAULT=saved is set in /etc/default/grub. It may also be saved if   GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true is also set in /etc/default/grub. In this case,   the default OS remains until a new OS is manually selected    from the   GRUB 2 menu or the grub-set-default command is executed.   I put the lines DEFAULT=saved AND GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true in /etc/default/grub, and ran sudo grub-set-default.  Here is the output:  $ sudo grub-set-default entry not specified.

Is there a way so that I make make it when I left click/right click with a certain item it applies an effect? I know that you can apply attributes to wearing armor and things but I want it so when you use the item it applies an effect on your player.
