[RPG] Does Dispel Magic work on Tiny Hut

dnd-5espells

Over the weekened one of my players stumped me when she made the claim that Dispel Magic wouldn't work on Tiny Hut due to these lines:

Creatures and objects within the dome when you cast this spell can
move through it freely. All other creatures and objects are barred
from passing through it. Spells and other magical effects can't extend
through the dome or be cast through it.

I folded and just went along with the players, but my interpretation was that Tiny Hut has the ability to block magical spells but is limited to those which are trying to go through it — not spells cast at the barrier itself, right?

Best Answer

You are correct, dispel magic will work on the hut.

Spells and other magical effects can't extend through the dome or be cast through it.

Casting dispel magic would be casting a spell at the hut, not through it (eg to a target inside or on the other side of it). A caster standing on the outside of the barrier casting a dispel magic at it, would be targeting the barrier and would not require the spell being cast to travel through the barrier itself.

Thus, there is no reason why dispel magic would not work on it.
