All you need for a successful hide check is 3/4s cover, which offers a lot of AC boost as well. So I am thinking for illusions enabling an attack, it might be best to not have 100% cover but only 3/4s cover. That way you duck behind cover then stand up fully and attack through the gaps in the illusion. That way you never spoil the illusion. Example: A Bush, you shoot through the gaps in the bushes branches and leaves. Or a poorly crafted crate, you shoot through the gaps in the wood planks. Or a wall with arrow slits.However if you go for a solid object with no gaps, then I'd say once you shoot directly through it, foes will know it's an illusion. Doesn't mean they automatically can see through it (their mind still plays the trick on them until they interact), but it does mean they're likely to simply maneuver around the battlefield to get a clear shot at you.</blockquote>
