[QUOTE="RigaMortus, post: 1664056, member: 1077"] If you have to choose the square that you attack into, then why does it say you have to "roll randomly to see whether the selected target is real or a figment"? Shouldn't it be one or the other? Not both? That makes no sense. Also, if the Figments are not treated as being within the same 5' square as the caster, that allows for some weird effects, like a minor form of Dimension Door. Imagine the caster is next to a 20' ravine. He casts mirror image. He places the figments in a single file line, so that 4 of them appear to be suspended in air above the ravine (covering the 20') and the last figment is on the opposite side of the ravine. The caster can suddenly "shift" with the figments and "pop" on the opposite side of the ravine. If we are going by the current wording of the spell. So anyway, it should be one or the other. Either (a) figments are in same 5' space as the caster and the opponent has to randomly roll to see if they hit the caster or (b) the figments can be within 5' of the caster or one other figment, and the attack gets to choose the square they attack into (thus negating the need for a random roll). It shouldn't be both, otherwise you get weird effects like above... [/QUOTE]
