[QUOTE="edbonny, post: 469441, member: 1119"] [b]Very Low Level Illusionary Combos...[/b] Illusions can be great fun when setting traps to fool or scare the unwitting. I recommend that the illusionist be hidden or in the protection of allies when doing these stunts. Combo #1) BRING OUT YER DEAD Use [i]ghost sound[/i] to create the noise of digging, scraping or unearthly moaning that seems to emanate from the ground. Then use [i]silent image[/i] to create the illusion of undead digging themselves free from the ground. Scares villagers and even marauding goblins... Combo #2) LET'S GIVE 'EM A HAND Use [i]change self[/i] to appear as an undead spellcaster or to appear as a necromancer. Cast [i]Silent Image[/i] to create an illusion of a [i]Spectral Hand[/i] and have it menace your enemies. Of course, this limits your offensive abilities but the hand should present an attractive target hopefully drawing off your enemies' attention (and their attacks). Combo #3) TORMENT THE PALADIN Are you the playful sort with a few metamagic feats in her pocket? A 5th level wizard who Silent/Stills/Material Eschews an illusion spell can have loads of fun. What a wonderful way to cast spells and also not be noticed by your peers. While you dine at a restaurant, put the image of a demon's face in your pal paladin's soup bowl. As you stroll down the road, perhaps a winged devil peeks from the branches to wink malevolently at your holy comrade? Is he hearing the whispers of the damned from his helm or is it your [i]ghost sound[/i]? Was that smoke issuing forth from his pillow ([i]prestidigitation[/i])? He'll never know but believe me, he'll think he is a "somebody" now that he has attracted diabolical attention. - Ed Bonny [/QUOTE]
