[QUOTE="Mort, post: 8876452, member: 762"] Isn't it primarily an Arcane spell (wizards and bards)? Only twilight clerics have access to it. But that's not relevant to the questions so: Haven't had anyone actually use this spell in my game so, no play experience, but here are my 2 cents. [B]First question I have is can this illusion move through solid objects?[/B] I would think so, the created double is merely an illusion, and I would allow it in my game. That said, it's frustratingly NOT spelled out. I mean the School (Illusion), the Damage/Effect (Deception) and even the term illusory double vs. illusory duplicate is basically the same as simulacrum which is explicitly solid. That said, I think I would rule it's a non-solid illusion and therefore can go through objects etc. [B]Second question is how far away from me can it go, and can it leave my line of sight?[/B] The range is self, which only applies at casting - as to where the double originates (so you couldn't have the double appear anywhere but where you are standing). After that, you can move it as long as you keep concentration. So yes, I think it can leave line of sight (unless I'm missing some rule about spells stopping when out of line of sight unless they expressly say so, don't think so though). So yea, I think you're good moving it as far as you need - better find a safe space for yourself though! [B]Third question is can I use my darkvision when looking through its eyes?[/B] Since 0 guidance is given as to what its eyes and ears are, I would default to they're your eyes and ears, except on it. So considering no other interpretation makes sense, yes I think Darkvision works. If we're being sticklers though, something like enhanced smell or anything else beyond sight and sound does NOT work as it does not say it's senses, only it's "eyes and ears) - a failure of too much natural language (IMO). Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
