[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 3433065, member: 2525"] I partially disagree. I agree you cannot make the BBEG look like you. However, I think you can make a pit that's not real. You cannot make a creature appear to be another creature, but I think it's well within the intent of a spells to make it appear as if there is a pit on a stone floor. Otherwise, you couldn't make ANYTHING with a figment spell, since every illusion is making in the very least the air around you look like something else. Perfect example of what I mean. If there was a hallway, and you make it look like it is instead a dead end using that illusory wall of stone, you have in a sense "made something seem to be something else." But I really don't think that is what the author's intent was with that sentence in the general figment description. I think they mean make something [which is currently being interacted with (like a creature, or their weapon)] seem to be something else". I think you can make an illusion of anything in empty space or around or on top of an unattended object, like the ground or a wall or a door. [/QUOTE]
