Why the number 2,280? What keeps you from adding peasants until your projectile travels at 0.99c?

It's worse, if I follow the logic, the projectile will travel any distance in 6s, so long as you have enough peasants.

I don't know what the D&D5 rules are on relativistic time dilation, I guess these would perhaps need to be invoked.

Given how grid-based combat works, I'm not even sure that D&D exists in a Euclidean-adjacent space time.

Nothing in any of the D&D universes suggests that it follows the same physical laws as ours, and many, many things say otherwise.
