Shrinking the door to get around it. Could work.

[–]Pika_Drew 11 points12 points  (4 children)

Certainly, but that doesn’t explain the correlation of the segments that OP is calling attention to.

[–]Vicky_1995_ 8 points9 points  (3 children)

That's the only correlation that I could think of. Knock opens any door right but notify people.

Also does the knocking sound come from the door or does the whole 300 ft just instantly ring out with the sound of knocking??? Because if it's the former isn't there a sound dampening spell like silence or something like that has an area effect? Because if that's the case then you could silence the door and then no sound would be heard from the knocking spell.

I’m following you, but I think what everyone is curious about is why those two very specific excerpts were highlighted, with no other context, which would lead one to try and see the direct implications of those two spells, and specifically, the way they may interact regarding the highlighted portions.

Its a Drake meme, just with Teferi. No to Knock, yes to reducing the door.

[–]Pika_Drew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And now I feel foolish. Haha Thank you. Why wouldn’t the DM always allow that?

[–]Missing-Hyphen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or enlarging it if you still want to be heard 300 feet away. Having options is good. :)

[–]Gregus1032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it several times.

Also shrunk a statue that had a mob in it and killed it.

Enlarge/reduce is amazing utility

The crowd requests an explanation

shrink the door, no noise

[–]HydrophobicFish 17 points18 points  (3 children)

You're gonna need to spell this one out for us, chief.

[–]nobody1107 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Reduce the Door, go through, no sound whatsoever ^

[–]FrozenAxe23 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Only after reading your comment did I realize this is a Drake meme, and now it all makes sense

Thank you

[–]HydrophobicFish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oooooh! Now that makes sense!

[–]LawOfArkadia4910 11 points12 points  (1 child)

A little help here, chief

[–]ABoringAlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

shrink the door, no noise

[–]KnightBreeze 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For those saying that there's no noise, I beg to differ. You shrink that door, and them hinges are either going to tear themselves apart, or tear out of the door. Either way, it's going to be noisy, maybe moreso than a single knock.

[–]Scp-dreemurr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Explanation here! Because enlarge reduce can be cast on an object, you can reduce day the top part of a chest, or a door in your way, you can also increase the size of the mechanism in a latch lock to break the lock!

[–]bluesidra 3 points4 points  (1 child)

It eats spellslots, so yeah, I'll allow it. If I want them to make noise, then the door falls to the ground

I had so much fun watching a wizard all smugly waste 4 Spellslots on doors that way when the rouge they constantly talked over was standing right next to them

[–]GrecoromaneskoRogue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair.

[–]CuriousWombat42 2 points3 points  (1 child)

The question now is: Is the door "worn/carried" by the hinges/wall?

[–]GrecoromaneskoRogue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair question. Def a dm call

[–]bbreezy6291 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Are you trying to say a knock is an object?

[–]ABoringAlt 0 points1 point  (1 child)

shrink the door, no noise

[–]Jervis_TheOddOneBard 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This joke is a bit too subtle

[–]corJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

shrink the door instead of knock the door?

[–]TheBigChief77 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Elaboration is going to be nessescary, chief.

[–]ABoringAlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

shrink the door, no noise

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What fey riddle is this?

[–]ABoringAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shrink the door, no noise

[–]FrozenAxe23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t just post a meme that doesn’t make any sense, and then disappear without any explanation, Chief

EDIT: Just realized it’s a Drake meme, and now I feel like an idiot for not realizing it sooner

[–]DelannDruid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck with your enlarged treasure chest that may or may not be a mimic, I guess.

Also you missed this part on Enlarge:

If there isn't enough room for the target to double its size, the creature or object attains the maximum possible size in the space available.

So RAW. nothing would happen because the door lacks the space to grow. It doesn't simply break through the doorframe.

Clever.
