[QUOTE="MojoGM, post: 2332813, member: 11414"] Hey all, An issue came up during Sunday's game which I'd like to put past you for opinions. An orc adept had cast mirror image, so there were 4 of him. During the combat, he went to move away from a character with combat reflexes who asked to attack all four images, citing each image as an individual. His dex bonus would have given him all four attacks, but I ruled that it was not possible. He swung at one of the images and it dissapeared. A few rounds later the wizard cast magic missile and hit the remaining 3, including the real adept which he killed. The character with combat relexes maintains that this is the same thing and his idea should have worked. We had a discussion about it during the game after which I made my ruling, which was at the time seconded by another player who also DMs. Now, I ask you, was I correct? Quoting from the FAQ, it would seem that I was not: [size=2]"For all intents and purposes, the figments from a foe's mirror image spell are your foes. You aim your spells and your attacks at the figments just as though they were real creatures. Any spell you can aim at a creature you can aim at an image. When you use a spell that allows you to select multiple creatures as targets, such as magic missile, you can choose multiple images as targets."[/size] I'm thinking I may have made an error. What say you? [size=2] [/size] [/QUOTE]
