But really it's just another everyday case of the GM having to fill in gaps in the rules, since the rules are well-intentioned, but don't spell out every option when dealing with imaginative players. They can't sanely be expected to do so.The writers knew this, which is why the rules share the spirit of the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution spells out some duties and limits the government has, but the writers were worried that it would be misinterpreted as being the limiting factor when determining people's rights -- that freedoms not spelled out in the Constitution would not be assumed to be a citizen's right by default. They warned against this, as the writers of the core rules spelled out that the books are simply guidelines.I'd say figuring out a way to allow Mirror Images or Major Images to flank doesn't contradict the rules as written. For one thing, neither can contradict the rules -- the possibility is never even mentioned. For another, the 'rules' say to use what works for you, which is a terribly general but very neat fill for all the stuff they didn't cover. And it works.Happy gaming to you.</blockquote>
