The chances of striking an image (and everything else about the spell) is unchanged. All this does is make it much easier to adjucate on the battlemat.If you let there be one image per square, and try to use figures to represent things, it gets wonky pretty quickly. The mage will try to control where his images in (and inevitably claim they can flank for him). Players will use metagame knowledge about 5ft steps and whatnot to figure out which is the real image. And someone will shoot the image way on the end (where the mage could not possibly have moved to after casting a spell) but then the random chance will say that really is the mage! Then someone will swing at an image 40ft away and random chance will say that is the real mage too! It's just goofy unless they all stay more-or-less in the same square.But, anyway, that's a tangent so I'll leave it at that.</blockquote>
