[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6551315, member: 5834"] I would slow some of the abuse by not allowing chain cloning. It takes days to pull off and is not useable in the middle of encounter. If you have a few days of preparation, you could pull off some weird stuff. You don't simulacrum the simulacrum. You have the simulacrum caster cast simulacrum of the original. It's his copy, not yours, but it still has half your hit points. It would be multiple clones with 71 hit points or half of whoever the original is. If multiple wizards can each simulacrum the same guy, no reason multiple simulacrums couldn't do the same thing using the original as the source. Nothing in the simulacrum spell indicates you must create a simulacrum of a simulacrum. I don't have a problem with base [I]simulacrum[/I]. Near as I can tell it's one of the ways the wizard keeps pace with everyone else's overall power. As far as the rest of your post, that sounds like fun. That would make for an amazing story. I think they did that with Manshoon. They've probably done it before in other stories. It would still be big fun to have to fight a clone army trying to kill you because they believe you are the false clone. You could build an entire campaign out of that idea. Some wizard screws up creating too many clones. It ends up with him being under near constant attack. [/QUOTE]
